This was the first recipe in the book and probably the most common one in the world. The chocolate chunks were pretty good right out of the oven because they were like little pockets of fudge when you bit into the oven. The tops were much more firmer than the blueberries, but that may be due to the longer time these muffins were in the oven for.
Overall, the muffins were OK. The recipe was simple and most anyone that bakes will have the ingredients in their pantries.

22. Marble Chocolate Muffins
Here's my 2nd batch of muffins from the book "1 Mix, 100 Muffins"." These muffins came out a lot better than the blueberries.
This batch of muffin did not have chunks of food in it and I think it made the muffins turn out a lot better. Instead of 20 minutes, I put these in for 22 minutes. The muffins had a much better top and tasted much more like muffins than the first batch.
I really enjoyed making these muffins because of the marble. It was great fun switching chocolate and vanilla part to make the marble. I love how unique each muffin came out. :)

27. Blueberry Muffin
1 Mix, 100 Muffins

I tried the blueberry muffin recipe this weekend. I had all the ingredients including the frozen blueberries, which turned out super moist after it came out of the oven.
The nice thing about this recipe was that the muffins aren't super sweet. We've been trying to eat better and I didn't feel bad about eatting them.
I don't think all the recipes are going to be semi-sweet, but they will be super delicious.

Muffins!
It's been a while since I've posted, but I found my next inspiration, Muffins!
I recently found this book at World Market. It was very intriguing as I'm very used to making muffins from a package. They have recipes for various types of muffins, some sound very delicious and some just sound out right .. yucky? I guess I shouldn't judge until I try.
I think I am going to try and go through this book and try every muffin recipe. I will post after every muffin, including ones such as tuna and olive. Wish me luck on this journey!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies
I saw this recipe in the Martha Stewart magazine last year and I've been craving to make these cookies for a looong time! I was always just too cheap to buy the jam because Andy and I really don't eat PB&J sandwiches.
The recipe can be found: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/peanut-butter-and-jelly-thumbprints
The recipe was very simple. It did take a bit of work to roll the cookies into a ball and then into sugar, but I do have to say that the overall shape turned out really nice. Some of the cookies cracked a bit more because i pressed into the cookie a lot more than other, however, the cookie did stay together pretty well even though it looked like it was about to break.
It was well liked by Andy and I and all those at work :).

Cupcakes in Tucson, AZ
While on a small shopping trip for others, Andy and I decided to stop at Cupcakes. They specialize in cupcakes for weddings, birthdays, or just desserts.
The restaurant was cute and refreshing. The person behind the register was extremely friendly and went through the cupcakes for us. Andy and I decided to just share one because we had just had a big lunch.
After much debating, we decided to on the LA Latte, which was a coffee flavored cake with vanilla frosting and cinnamon sprinkles. Overall, I would say the cupcake was OK. The first bite was good, the 2nd bite was OK, the third just started getting a bit too sweet. The ratio of the frosting to the cupcake was just too much. I don't think I would go there again for dessert.
