Until this past weekend, I had been out of my kitchen for 2 weeks due to a business trip! 14 days people..
Do you know what that means to an avid kitchen goer??
Torture.
Luckily I had some recipes in the arsenal so the blog wasn't out of commission while I was gone, but the entire two weeks I was locked up in my hotel room all I could think about was what I was going to make when I got home.
I arrived home Saturday night, greeted by my adoring boyfriend and spent the early evening feasting on some good ole Texas BBQ with some friends.. delish.
Sunday morning the kitchen was going to be mine.
Eating the same stale bagels, raisin bran and yogurt (not all at the same time, I had a rotation going) for 14 days does a toll on ya..so healthy(ish) and delicious were two prereqs for my Sunday morning bake sesh.
Bananas in the freezer + peanut butter in the cabniet + mini chocolate chips= perfect muffin combo.
