Toast & Jam....One of lifes simple pleasures

Oooh-la-la!

One of my most favourite shops in Niagara-on-the-lake!

Why?

Because I  a d o r e   jam!

Wanna come in ?

Just for a sec?

:)

Lets grab a basket...

you never know,

you might wanna pick up a few jars...

So much to choose from...

my favourites are..

raspberry jam.

blueberry jam,

and

apricot jam

:)

I love  jam

on toast in the morning..

actually, most mornings before work.

And for a real treat,

once in a blue moon,

I like it on a tea biscuit (home-made) with butter.

mmmmmm :)

One of my simple pleasures!!

What about you?

What are some of your simple pleasures?

About Muffins...tops or bottoms?

Muffin Tops...

Reasons to love them:

1)  The tops of muffins are just the yummiest part

2)  Theres less muffin...so calorie-wise its better if you're watching your weight

(unless you take a few because you rationalize that they're smaller,

when really you are eating the full muffin in the end)

Lol...that would be me Im talking about!  :)

3)  They are a great compliment to a hot drink

and most importantly

They are just so cute!!

:)

I had been wanting one of these muffin top pans for a while

and last year, while on holidays,

my hubby and I saw one at Home Hardware

in St. Jacobs

and when I was in our room taking a nap

he went over and bought it for me.

:)

I know..that was sweet...

just as sweet as the muffin tops!

lol

My favourite muffin

is found in this cookbook..

its called

Best Ever Banana Muffins

and because I know you'll love them

and I want to share with you :)

heres the recipe...

messy page and all!

Hope you enjoy!!

Why dont you go out and get yourself

a muffin top pan?

This recipe is for regular muffins too;

it doesnt matter what size pan you use..

but

if you're making the muffin tops,

I cook them for about 15 minutes instead of 20!

Have a great day

my little muffin-tops!

(yes I mean you..:) )

All my love,
