With my other pregnancies I never really had cravings (unless you count the fact that I threw up EVERYTHING but vanilla ice cream and skittles for about 8 months with my first child). Not so this time. Cravings ALL the time. Yesterday it was muffins. I'm not really a muffin person, but sometimes you just need a muffin. So I e-mailed my friend Leah and she sent me her Anyfruit Muffins. I'm not really a baker, I'm a cook. This is primarily because I'm too efficient (read lazy) to measure things properly. I'm more of a dump & taste kind of girl which doesn't work quite as well with baking as it does with cooking. In fact when I did wedding cakes for some friends I ended up buying an electronic kitchen scale so I could still dump things in but also have it turn out right every time. I reccomend this to all you lazy bakers out there. Measuring cups are so passe-get a scale!=P Want the muffin recipe?
