Berries

Yesterday Mr. M., the little mama and I took a drive to the country (ok the country is like 5 mintues from downtown here in the Palm Springs of WA, but it was still "a drive"). 

I woke up with a need for fresh picked berries, but the orchard I wanted to go to posted on their website that U-pick wouldn't be open until the second week of August. I told Mr. M that we should just take a drive and see if we found a roadside fruit stand that had berries. He obliged and we were on our way. 

I've always thought myself a city girl, but these last few weeks I've really found a new love for this small town we moved to. Maybe its the yummy berries we found, I don't know, but ask me how long it took us to eat ALL the berries? Not long, not long at all.

I hope the summer is treating you well, we love picking berries around these parts. What summer activities do you love to do?

Sweet Corn Muffins, Please!

I'm not the best cook or baker around these parts, but from time to time I discover these amazing little recipes I have to try. A while back I stumbled upon Jessica from The Novice Chef and her Jalapeno Sweet Corn Muffin Recipe and I knew I had to try it. In our home we love chili and corn bread, so naturally I had to pair these little muffins with some chili. 

Its been unbearably hot in the valley these last few weeks, but since today is only in the low 90s it seems like a perfect day for a hot bowl of chili (haha!) and these amazing little muffins. The recipe makes 12, and I think I might just eat them all. 


Go ahead, give these a try, you won't regret it.
