Donut Muffins

My mom used to make these muffins when I was growing up and they have always been a favorite of mine. They have a very mild flavor and make a great breakfast or snack food (in my opinion).

The recipe calls for sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on the outside of the muffin but I have never done this.

This is the recipe I used. It made 9 good sized muffins. Enjoy with milk :)

Personal Development Goals: May

Well I've been slacking on my goals to keep up with the rest of my life. Sometimes you have to prioritize things just to get through the month.

So how did I do this month?

2011 Personal Development Goals:
- Read at least 3 books per month. Not accomplished. I've been looking for a book to read and keep coming up empty handed. I got some great recommendations this past weekend though so hopefully this will change next month!


- Try 1 new recipe per month. Huge success here.

Spinach Brownies
Delicious! This would make a great side dish or appetizer. I'll definitely be keeping this one around.


- Attempt 6 "Do it yourself" projects. Nothing here.


- Volunteer somewhere at least once per month. Success!!
I actually volunteered twice this month so I am finally getting on track with this goal. I volunteered at 2 car seat events in my county. This is somewhat related to my job but both events were on weekends so they don't count towards my work hours.

Not a bad month!

Spinach Brownies

Holy deliciousness Batman! I realize these don't sound at all delicious. In fact, they sound a little disgusting.

I had a picture of these but I can't find one so you'll have to rely on the recipe picture. If you are looking for a delicious way to use up some spinach, this is the recipe for you! It tastes sort of like an onion/spinach quiche. My guess is that you could vary this pretty significantly to accommodate whatever veggies you have laying around.

Check it out!
