I am a dark chocolate fanatic.  Well, actually ... I'm an any-kind-of-chocolate fanatic.  Though I especially adore dark chocolate.

But I must admit, when I stumbled across the combination of dark chocolate and blueberries in these Dark Chocolate Blueberry Muffins, I was skeptical.  Chocolate? ... Yes.  Blueberries? ... Yes.  Together in a muffin? ... I wasn't sure.

But given these are two of my absolute favorite things, I just had to give the combination a try.

And you know what?

"Can I have chocolate for breakfast?"

It's not an uncommon question to hear from our 6-year-old daughter at our house.  She would eat chocolate 24 hours a day if we'd let her.  And truth-be-told, I can't say I wouldn't like to, too.

Well, with these Triple Dark Chocolate Muffins, the answer to her question can be a resounding, "Yes."

Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins - 2 Fall flavors are perfect together in these tender & tasty muffins!  www.thekitchenismyplayground.com


It has been absolutely beautiful fall weather this week so far here in North Carolina.  It's been those kind of days where there's just a bit of coolness in the air in the morning, and then it warms up to a perfectly-pleasant temperature that's warm enough for short sleeves but not-at-all-hot.  You know, those kind of days that make you just want to spend the entire day outside.

That is, unless you're like me.  Because do you want to know what these kind of beautiful fall days make me want to do?

Baking with the warm flavors of fall is one of my favorite things to do.  With the season's abundance of pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, pecans, and other warm-and-comforting spices, I'm truly in baking heaven.

Loaded with the flavors of applesauce, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, it's probably no surprise then that I simply adore these Applesauce Muffins.  As does our entire family!

My Mom started baking Applesauce Muffins years and years and years ago, and they quickly became a family favorite.

I love blueberries.  I think they may be my favorite fruit.  But, you know, I've never been a big fan of blueberry muffins - at least not of 'traditional'  blueberry muffins.

To me, many blueberry muffins are kind of like yellow cake with some blueberries tossed in.  Not that there's anything wrong with that - it's just not my thing.

Now these, these blueberry muffins - I love!

Sometimes inspiration strikes us and we just have to go with it right at that very moment.  No waiting.  Just right then.  Like for me with these Glazed Poppy Seed Muffins with Strawberry Butter. 

These tasty little beauties are inspired by a tea room in my town called Chantilly's Tea Room.  And once I decided to make them, I was compelled to do it that very day.

Summer is a time when we get to indulge ourselves a little bit. Like ... with ice cream, or trips to the beach, extra time hanging out with friends, lazy days at the pool, or big shopping trips. Some may say that during summer, we get to splurge.

The other day, my Mom and I splurged with these Double Blueberry Muffins with Citrus-Sugar. Yes, double blueberry ...

Blueberry Gingerbread Streusel Muffins

December 12, 2012
Try a totally tasty twist-up of tradition with these Blueberry Gingerbread Streusel Muffins.  Yes, blueberries in gingerbread.  And it's a truly fabulous flavor combination!



Mmmmmmmm ... gingerbread.  It's one of my absolute favorite Christmas traditions.  I make gingerbread cookies every year.  And though we don't do it every year, our family has lots of fun with gingerbread houses, too.

So when I had the opportunity to participate in the 'Twist Up Tradition with Blueberries!' recipe challenge, sponsored by the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, I knew exactly what tradition I wanted to 'twist up' ...
