Leaving you with a quote from one of my favorite Authors-

"You don't get tired of muffins, but you don't find inspiration in them."
George Bernard Shaw

Sorry George, I think I am going to have to disagree- I am feeling pretty inspired right now =)

I love muffins! Thanks for sharing these recipes.

Chicago Mom said...

Did you make all of those recipes?! haha! Those all sound delicious. I will have to check that book out from my library. Cookbooks are too expensive to buy, especially since I never use all the recipes. I prefer to check them out from library and photocopy the recipes I like best. But this muffin book might be one to buy for yourself as an early birthday gift or something!
