Graduation Time!
I’ve been invited to a plethora of graduation parties these past few weeks. And yesterday’s was really fun: it was a brunch party. I decided to make mini muffins, because muffins are quintessential brunch fare, and because mini muffins are so dang cute!
I also brought a date to the party.
His name is Muttsee, and I’ve had him my entire life. (It was a pajama-themed brunch, and I love getting into the spirit of theme parties. You can bet I wore my pajamas!)
Question of the Day:
Growing up, did you have a favorite stuffed animal or baby blanket?
Coming soon: ice cream, pancakes, and a Funfetti version of this.
Yum! I want one NOW! 🙂
Love the mini-muffins! I cant wait to try them, maybe tomorrow 🙂
My favorite stuffed animal was/is a hound dog named Sad Eyes. My Dad brought him to me the day I was born 🙂 In a sort of sad story, my Mom was so upset when I was born because she thought my Dad only wanted a little boy, and that he wouldnt love me because I was a girl! Of course, my Dad loved me to death (as Dads tend to do with their newborn babies, right?!) and “proved” it by bringing me the sweet gift of my very own, bigger-than-me puppy 🙂
Aww! A sad story, but with a happy ending!
I had a blanket with teddy bears on it, it’s very faded now but you can see that some of the female bears are anatomically correct. Not sure where my mom bought that. We always have a good laugh now in retrospect
Trying beans in dessert is on my agenda this week. Do the beans lend any taste difference at all? Can’t wait to try!

I’m not Katie, but I’ve tried the cookie pie and the blondies, and I’ve served them both to non-healthy eaters and NO ONE can tell that it’s not just your basic cookie pie made with butter and flour!
I had a baby blanket and a Madame Alexander doll named Victoria, with porcelin head and limbs and a soft body. She was my very first baby doll and I love her still. 🙂
Ohmigosh I *heart* Madame Alexander dolls!!! Love love love!
I have a huge collection of the little ones. It’s one thing I have more of than peanut butter jars which is saying something ;).
I agree about beany desserts! The Japanese have some pretty awesome desserts with sweet red bean paste – anko – and you wouldn’t know that’s what it is unless you asked someone! Otherwise it’s just delicious. Oh well, maybe ignorance is bliss when it comes to the beany desserts… or at least until after they’ve eaten. 🙂 There are so many recipes online for bean flour desserts – and you can’t seriously argue that there’s much of a difference between those recipes and the ones you come up with… except yours are more moist because of the cooked beans and more delicious. 😀
I had a pink baby blanket AND a favourite stuffed animal – both in my possession since I was born (i.e. my parents’ first gifts to me?). I so cleverly named him “Bear” (although I could only say “Beah” at first), and he’s super worn out now, with chipped little eyes and patches of missing fur… Yep, he’s been well-loved.
I have a mini muffin tin just waiting for this! OMG! 🙂
I mentioned in Averie’s post that I made the choc chip blondies and loved them, as did my non-healthy eating dad, and I’ve since made the Snickerdoodle ones and they’ve had the same (hugely appreciative) reception 🙂 I don’t really get the big deal … why is it any stranger than anything else we eat? If it tastes good and works well I don’t understand the problem.
I just got some silicone mini muffin cases as a gift a couple of days ago, I can’t wait to try these 🙂
Muttsee is so cute! I had a stuffed dog, an Andrex puppy, that I just called “Good Dog” (aw, sweet li’l me :D). I looked after all of my toys, so although it went everywhere with me it’s still in good condition, yay!
I think this is my first comment on your blog, so I’d just like to say thank you, I enjoy it very much and I really appreciate all of the work, effort and time that goes into making such a great source of fun, information and yumliciousness 😀
Aww you are already my new best friend, simply because you used the word “yumliciousness.” 🙂 🙂
I had a big stuffed E.T. doll that I carried everywhere – he was so soft and had the kindest eyes! He was my buddy on long road trips. Now I’ve got my live furry boy and couldn’t be happier!
Those muffins look awesome! And don’t mind the bean-haters. After all, chocolate is made from beans too!
And I love the story about Muttsee. I used to have a piggy as my favourite stuffed animal and I brought him with me everywhere I went, haha.
