"One of my favorite "grown-up" muffins with so many possibilities!!!! I have experimented with the flavored instant coffees (french vanilla is AWESOME!!), and I have also made these muffins using white chocolate chips. I sometimes just whip up a batch of the spread to eat on toast or bagels. SOOOO YUMMY!!!!"

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
