Taste Testers

I've been trying out some new recipes on the kids - usually they are pretty happy to taste test for me.  They REALLY liked this one though (and who wouldn't want a bowl of melted nutella?!)

I don't make things from scratch - EVER.  But my friend Leslie has a great blog and I have been using it profusely in trying to learn new recipes.  She recently featured a recipe for made from scratch muffins and I was intrigued.  I was especially intrigued because she gave different mix-in options and I figured if I put chocolate in a muffin I was being healthy?!?  Since it was sooo cold today and Elli and I had some free time this afternoon, we went about making them. They actually turned out pretty good.  The best part?  I was able to freeze some for another breakfast or snack time.  I made them with Elli's raisins and cinnamon because I didn't have chocolate chips but you can rest assured next time they will be chocolate chocolate chocolate.  Have I mentioned that when I am pregnant all I think about is chocolate?!?
