milk, muffins, MONDAY.

{strawberry crumble muffins}




Last night some students came over to watch old episodes of the Office.
We snacked on Muffins, milk, and some last minute, throw-everything-together cookies.
I am a really big fan of opening my refrigerator, looking at what I have, and coming up with a recipe using ingredients that I already have.
Last night, I made Strawberry Crumble Muffins. They are really sweet, gooey, and delicious. The recipe is below.
Also, I had a bunch of leftover Christmas candy. So I chopped up a bunch of Mr. Goodbar, Hershey, and Reeses candies and used them as a substitute for chocolate chips in my favorite cookie recipe. Yum.
All served with a glass of milk.
Plus, the best part is having leftover muffins for Monday morning.
