Ingredients

Muffins

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • grated zest and juice from one small orange (I used a tangerine)
  • 1 1/4 cup strawberry yogurt*
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted, plus additional for greasing

Topping

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mace

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.

In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.  Make a well in the center and pour in the yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and orange juice.  Vigorously whisk together the wet and dry ingredients until thoroughly combined, about 20 strokes.  The batter should be fluffy but slightly lumpy.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl.  Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup just short of the rim (if you want to fill the cups less, this recipe would easily make 18 smaller muffins).

To make the topping, in a small bowl, stir together nuts, sugar, and mace.  Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons over each muffin.

Bake until golden around the edges and dry and spring to the touch, 16-20 minutes depending upon size of muffins.  A cake tester or tooth pick inserted in center of muffins should come out clean.

*I used organic Stonyfield Farm yogurt.  It has a great pink color that comes from organic beet juice, not artificial coloring; unfortunately, the color baked out — I was hoping they would stay pink.  The yogurt I used didn’t have strawberry pieces in it, but if I did it again, I would make sure to either add them or get yogurt with strawberries in it.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
