I wanted to give you donuts, but all I have are …


Whoa is me, the butter is frozen.


I've barely been able to get a full meal on the table this week and haven't shared a single recipe with you yet. I said I would. All morning long I was stewing about it and finally I knew just what I would make for you: doughnut muffins. I haven't had many recipes jumping out at me, begging to be made lately. But this one was softly, quietly calling my name. Doughnut muffins. I knew the ingredients are mostly basics that I would have on hand and felt I owed it to you to bake up a batch. I raced home this afternoon to make them just for you, lickety-split. But…

The butter — all 12 tablespoons of it — is frozen.

And so I give you … peas.


Inspired by Jen of Indie Fixx's post over at Craft, I put together a makeshift trellis for our snap peas last night. You can find full instructions here. I used some twigs I found around the yard and tied it all to our balcony. Voila! Instant trellis.


So just know that I have been thinking of you and, tomorrow, for you: doughnut muffins. It'll be Friday and it will be worth it!

  1. Okay, Nicole, peas instead of doughnut muffins? I think not! I know my rights! I know my vegetables, and doughnuts aren't them! I hope you leave the butter out so I can see what a doughnut muffin looks like. It is combining two of my most favorite things, so I'm betting it is amazing. Oh, and the trellis is great - lol!! xoxox Pam

  2. Believe me, I know. So sad. Really? Peas instead of donuts. Nobody wants that — least of all me. Stay tuned… this weekend: homemade doughnut muffins, hummus and pita and lord knows what else… guilt alone will drive me to the kitchen. Guilt alone will make me do it!!!
