hooplah

yeah yeah i dvr'd it and watched the royal wedding.  i FF through a lot of the ridic talking but kate is so freakin' classy, right?!?!  i can't get over it.  and if you have to wear sleeves on your wedding dress...that's the way to do it. gorg!! there's got to be "how to be a princess" classes she took b/c she so cool as a cucumber!!!!!!!

i went home for easter...it was beautimous!  very hectic, non-resting trip but needed.  and i got to meet/hang out with all my girlfriends and their little ones....WILD!!  hahahha but they were so cute i loved it.  and its funny when you see your friends that you had so many crazy college memories with running after a 1 year old, changing diapers and running after the toy-throwing bebe.  HA!  makes me laugh inside!!  and andree brought a portable ball pit WHHHHHHAAATT!?!?!?!?!?  i'm going to need that when we have one ;)

farmers market this weekend y'all!!!!!!!!  i was deathly sick the first weekend it opened and had to work the others so this is my first of the season.  it better be the best.ever. because i'm building it up in my head like ca-razy! ill let you know.
the rest of my glorious weekend off will be cleaning up for brett's arrival and finishing this dang chair.  its got to be done by next week. the.end.

morning muffins

lately i've been flipping through Bethanny's skinnydish book and trying to find a balance between healthy and delish.  brett says i'm focusing more on healthy so while he's gone i'll be doing some experimenting!!
i'm not much of a measurer (a la rachel ray) so forgive.....

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup cake flour
1/2 cup sugar (raw, brown or granulated)
1/4-ish cup apple sauce
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tbsp melted butter
1-2 tsp cinnamon
2-ish tbsp honey
1/2 apple diced

mix until just blended. drop in muffin tin and bake 20 mins...turn muffins after 10 mins.
i sprinkled a little cinnamon and drop of honey on top right before baking.  originally this was a blueberry muffin recipe but i didn't have those so i added the apple sauce and apples and cinnamon. bethanny used oat flour but this is what i had.  the small amount of cake flour lightens up the wheat flour just enough. they might not be sweet enough for brett but i'll taste another one to make sure :)
