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.
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.
Mini cookie dough muffins sounds absolutely perfect for a party, especially a pajama themed one! And I think the idea of beans in dessert is totally awesome, especially if it tastes good and lends a nice texture.
I had so many favorite stuffed animals when growing, but the one that sticks out in my mind is a giant easter duck my dad bought me after a dentist’s appointment, I still have it!
I think it’s terrible that someone called bean desserts “stupid.” It’s amazing how rude some people can be. My favorite stuffed animal was a cat named Allie, and I still have her somewhere.
I had my booaggie, my blankie who was actually featured on the website: dirty wow wow. I’d link it, but that’s not a google search you do at work.
Beans in desserts isn’t weird at all! As a matter of fact, it’s genius! 😀 If others don’t like it, they don’t have to make it! I can’t believe anyone would call your recipes such bad names. (Sorry, I get rather protective of my Katie!)
Moving on… Muttsee is SO cute!! When I was little I had this tiny penguin (it was big to me then as I could barely hold it in my tiny hand) that I took EVERYWHERE!! I even took it to the beach and buried it in the sand! I still have that penguin and it’s still rather brown from the sand 😉
Oh and your little muffins are super duper cute! I bet they were the best EVER!! 😀
<3 <3
I agree with the earlier post – black bean brownies are DELICIOUS! Nothing wrong at all with putting beans/veggies/etc. into a dessert.
I can’t believe anyone would ever call your recipes stupid! I think they are genius 🙂 People that say those things just don’t have anything better to do with their time clearly.
I still have a teddy bear given to me by my great aunt when I was younger. He’s currently noseless but he’s so comfy, I just can’t bare to lose him!
Wow, I don’t particularly like any of the desserts I’ve tried with beans in them, but if other people like them, why would someone call it stupid? Food likes and dislikes just are what they are, they can’t be stupid!
These looks great Katie! So cute! And I love when the vegan food is the most populare at a party! 🙂
I have a teddy that I got when I was 8 (Im 23 now), and she is still in my bed 🙂 She used to be black and white, now she is kind of all-gray ;P
forget those grad’s these babies should take center stage! no love lost for the bean-injected sweets either, serve em up!
aww, and ur date is such a hottie…hehe. i had a special blanket that i slept with every single night of my life until i moved away from home. i only parted with him because i gave it to my younger sis so she wouldn’t miss me while i was away. but i made sure she promised to take good care of him. 🙂
Do you think you might make YouTube videos?
No idea
omg, I`d like to try such a delicious-looking muffins!
Beans in desserts aren’t dumb! I made a smoothie yesterday with chickpeas, and it was fantastic.
My favorite stuffed animal was my Simba lion, and he came to the hospital when I had surgery at age 5. He even got his own hospital band!
Aww that reminds me of my American Girl doll. I thought it was SO cool that when she went to be fixed, she came back in a hospital gown!
