Girl's Nights and Birthdays!

In the midst of chaos with school, work, and deployments one of my favorite and only times to breathe are girls nights.  This past week Heather and I sat aside our books for a few hours and went on a cupcake craze.  Thank you Brooke for having a birthday and letting us indulge on sweets!

• 1 cup of whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 t. baking powder

• 1 apple grated

 Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

Baking as Therapy

I think my husband thought I was crazy the first time he watched me start making a batch of muffins at 10pm.  Baking at night is just one of the most relaxing things for me :)  Anyway, the past few weeks and namely today have been increasingly busy and I feel like I never have time to do any decent cooking.  So tonight when I got back from the gym I decided to try out a new recipe for Apple Oat Muffins.  Sooooo yummy and healthy to boot!  Made with fat-free yogurt, whole wheat flour, and honey. MMMmmmm.  Need to do this more often!
