So it seems that I’m on a bit of chocolate kick, of late. Today, I’ve reached issue #21 of my Everyday Food Challenge and the Frozen Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Banana Loaf.

At the same time I remembered that Everyday Food magazine had featured this amazing juice back in its December 2006 issue in the “Have You Tried?” section. That’s were I found the…
5 days of sweets – pumpkin doughnut muffins
Sugar and spice and everything nice. That’s one way to describe these doughnuts disguised as muffins disguised again as doughnuts. I don’t think there’s a better way to end 5 Days of Sweets than with a baked treat bathed in butter then rolled in cinnamon sugar. So there you have it, the Pumpkin Doughnut Muffin…
