Welcome...

I shop all too often considering I despise mail from Mastercard. I sip from fine china that is far older than the Queen. I daydream of a closet filled with Chanel. AND... If that all wasn't enough for the mind, I am a brand new mother of a baby girl, who at 4 months preferred gazing at my Wedding Ring than her plush toys.

Banana Chocolate Miracle Muffins


You love chocolate.... and now..... chocolate loves you!

Start your morning off right with these Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Muffins. Jam packed with Bananas and Apple Sauce, these muffins will have you feeling guilty without the 'crying on the scale Monday morning' part. A win win for any chocolate lover. I had these each and every morning last week and I'm not going to lie, I didn't have one bad day last week. I'd say these are little miracle muffins.
