Yummy Muffins!
1 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
Muffins are a favorite weekend staple in our household. Sometimes making a huge breakfast is not possible, and whipping up a batch of muffins is the way to have a quick, delicious breakfast. With that in mind, I picked up this book to add ideas to the simple "muffin mix in a box" that I tend to grab.
I was not disappointed. The book started with great information on ingredients that you can use to make great muffins (including the positives of different types of flour, milk, spices, etc.), the proper equipment, and the basic ingredients to have on hand so that you are able to whip up a batch anytime. Following are chapters including: "Get Up and Go Muffins", "Crunchy, Crumbly, Fruity, Spicy Do-Da Muffins", "Herby Cheesy Muffin Things", "Holiday, Special Occasion, and Good Time Muffins", "Extra Effort but Worth it Muffins", "Low Fat and Still Yummy Muffins", and "Top-Notch Toppings".
Some of my family's favorites include: Catherine's Lemon-Red Raspberry Muffins, Only Kids Need Apply Muffins, Almond Delight Muffins, Apple-iscious Apple Spice Muffins, Chai Muffins, Peachy Peach Muffins, Hushpuppy Muffins, Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Muffins, Bananas Foster Muffins, Classic Colada Muffins, and Sugar Plum Fairy Muffins.
In my opinion, the only things lacking from this cookbook are a color photograph of each recipe, and a spiral binding to help the book lay flat. Otherwise this is a great cookbook for muffin lovers everywhere. Enjoy!

A winner--creative, healthful, delicious muffins
21 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
This book contains so many intriguing recipes that I couldn't wait to try! I spent a few days experimenting eagerly with the ones that particularly caught my eye: Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins (devoured by the whole family!), Ladda's Lemon Ginger Muffins (my daughter exclaimed, "There's a yummy burst of lemon flavor from the first bite!"), White Chocolate with Raspberry Muffins, Cafe Crumble Muffins, and even French Onion Soup Muffins. I can't wait to try out more of the recipes--such as Orange Cardamom Muffins and Steven's Sun-Dried Tomato Muffins (with spinach).
If you're not used to healthful baking, some of the ingredients might sound foreign, but find a natural foods store or a well-stocked grocery store, and give them a try--they're not only better for you than the white flour and sugar varieties but taste great, too! Pair these muffins with a salad or soup for a lovely, inspired meal.
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with a cookbook that contains a recipe for Seven-Factors-of-Enlightenment Muffins! Making these recipes is like a mindfulness meditation--you can slow down and savor the subtle aromas, flavors, and the interaction between the different ingredients, knowing you're creating something that's wholesome for your body, mind, and soul.

Awesome book!
8 July 2007
Format:Paperback
This is an awesome muffin cookbook! I have been searching for a book just like this one that has recipes for muffins that are tasty and also good for you for years. I love that the author uses whole grains, less sugar in most of the recipes, and adds nutritious ingredients to all of her muffins. Some of her listed ingredients can be exchanged for other ingredients to make the muffins vegan, if you choose. This cookbook is not for the baker who wants to bake with only white flour (all of the recipes call for some other type of flour such as whole wheat, rice, buckwheat, cornmeal, etc) or for those who scoff at alternative ingredients (such as applesauce, fruit purees, fruit juice concentrates, etc), but these recipes are still easy to prepare. I can't wait to try all of the recipes in this book and would strongly recommend it to anyone who also wants a healthy, good for you muffin cookbook!
