Wild Blackberry and Orange Muffins

This post shares a simple one-bowl baking recipe for Wild Blackberry and Orange Muffins. The recipe was inspired by the discovery of Wisconsin wild blackberries in the author’s farm. The blackberries are smaller and sweeter than store-bought ones. The post also includes tips for baking with kids and freezing blackberries for future use.

This is the ONLY recipe I was able to get from my grandmother (my mom’s mom) herself. This is the very recipe she used for my mother every year for her birthday. The only issue… when I talked to my grandmother and got all the ingredients, but she didn’t give me measurements. She told me what she used, and what to look for as I was slowly adding in things. So this was interesting to figure out to say the least. I like to have at least an idea of what the measurements are.

Recipe: Mint Chip “Milkshake” Cupcakes

I am a huge Mint Chip Ice Cream fan (as is my oldest whom I made these cupcakes for). My oldest just had a birthday party recently and wanted some kind of fun cupcake for the party. Enter…. mint chip milkshake cupcakes. A fun play on basic cupcakes with a milkshake flair.

Last year, I made a cake that looked like a dragon (yes this kid is also really into dragons). But that was a lot. I had to bake the cake, freeze it, cut it, “glue it” and then frost and decorate it.

The weather is starting to cool and the leaves are changing color here in Wisconsin. As baking in my house becomes more abundant, thanks to the cooling weather, I can’t help but start experimenting.

I love pumpkin and apples and RIGHT NOW they are in abundance! From local farms to farmers’ markets to grocery stores. This just means this is the perfect time to make (and create) all kinds of yummy treats with both. Today it’s Apple Pumpkin Muffins.

Recipe: Zucchini Bread

I try to make recipes that you can adjust for your family. If you actually prefer nuts, you could add 1 cup of walnuts or pecans to it if you wanted. My kids don’t always want nuts in bread like this or the banana bread I make, if I feel like adding nuts, I’ll make muffins instead and split the batter so that I can add nuts to half.

If you make muffins, they will take less time to bake, A LOT let less time, so keep that in mind.
