traveling snacky board

I put together this snacky board fro a friend's birthday.  Popped all the happy bits into containers, added a tray, a dishtowel, and wee little bowls, and assembled it in the car just before knocking on her door. Happy birthday, friend!

muffins

 

I have a couple of go-to muffin recipes I bake several times a month. This one is a basic muffin recipe that I added a pint of raspberries too. I generally am not a raspberry fan, but in muffins, they add just the right amount of fruity tartness to begin your day. I use this recipe from Baked by an Introvert, and full disclosure, I use oil instead of butter because butter is getting a bit too spendy. I also use turbinado sugar on the top. These work really well plain, served with jam and clotted or barely sweetened cream. You can also add frozen berries but they may need a little more baking time. Use a toothpick to check.
