I did something this morning that I haven't done for a very long time and on a whole new level at that. I made up a recipe. Big deal, right? Wrong... because usually it would be making up a casserole or maybe experimenting with a recipe I have to create something new, but this morning, I made Whole Wheat Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins using nothing but gut instinct for ingredients, oven temperature, and baking time.
I was really good about keeping my little secret this morning too. I wasn't about to tell my family this small tidbit of information before they started their breakfast. I didn't want it to influence their opinions about how it tasted, but I admit, I was really nervous they would turn out horrid!
Imagine my surprise then they looked gorgeous... and then again when my son asked for another one because "they are really good!" (he is not a muffin eater, but must have been hungry to be willing to try the first one).
So I get home from School drop off to finally have some breakfast and have a taste for myself and... Wow! These are amazing muffins! Some of the best I've made in years! Maybe ever!!
I just may have to reconsider my entire approach to cooking from now on.

Hm, It's Still Missing Something...
Someday my prince will come... no, wait... that would be my writing blog... let me try this again...
Someday I'll get back to work on my "A Time to Knead" cookbook. A simple walk through the kitchen these days is enough to weaken the strongest of stomachs. This unfinished work of mine mocks me at every turn you know.
Typos and missing recipes, not to mention the website that sits ever patiently waiting for my attention. *patiently only because it's out of sight, out of mind*
I took a peak at the website today to make sure it wasn't just some figment of my imagination. While I confirmed it's existence, I also quickly realized how bland it really is. It's just begging to be spiced up. *pun intended*
Well, too bad, so sad. Onto the back burner to simmer a while longer you must go!
As for the rest of you, until further notice... "No Soup for You!" But, if you are a just DYING to see the website, *be forewarned* you can get there by going to www.atimetoknead.com
Update: as of 11/12/13, I am no longer working on my website... I have removed it altogether. I think I will just keep my focus here. =)
