Hey Reader,

Happy Friday!

How are things going this week?

So far so good in our household. It’s my daughter’s 13th birthday next week, so we are about to have a whole bunch of tween girls storm our house for pizza and a movie on Saturday.

I’m psyching myself up for the noise and chaos, which I love… in small doses. Wish me luck.

But onwards to our Foodie Friday thoughts.

Let’s talk about muffins.

Specifically, the kind you can make once and rely on all week when mornings are rushed, lunches need padding out, or someone suddenly announces they’re starving five minutes before you leave the house. Why does that always happen?!?!?!

I'm a big fan of recipes that do double duty or more.

Breakfast.

Snack.

After school hanger emergency situation.

Early morning flights.

Camping trips.

Road trips.

While I do appreciate the convenience of store bought when I'm running short of time, they definitely don't stack up to fresh homemade muffins in my opinion.

Here are three muffin ideas worth saving:

First, if you love options, I put together a whole roundup of homemade blueberry muffin recipes. Think classic, bakery-style, healthier twists, and a few fun variations too.

Next up is one of our cozy favourites. These easy pumpkin walnut muffins are a standalone recipe and perfect for fall… or anytime you want something a little heartier and nourishing. They also make your kitchen smell amazing, which is a bonus when you’re trying to feel like you have your life together.

And if you like variety, this easy homemade muffin recipe roundup includes both sweet and savory options. So whether you need something for breakfast or more of a grab-and-go snack, there’s something in there for you.

If you had to pick just one muffin flavour for the rest of the month… what would it be?

Blueberry is always a safe bet here. But I love having at least one savory option on hand too.

Let me know your favourite. I’m always looking for new ideas to try.

Good luck to both of us this weekend. You with whatever your calendar is holding… and me with a house full of 12 and 13 year olds.
