Today was a particularly wonderful baking day because the baking started at breakfast and lasted all the way to dinner! I baked 2 items today:
1) Chocolate chips muffins - I haven't made muffins in a LONG time and boy was it a good idea. I must credit Neel for the inspiration to make muffins since he just straight up asked for them on Friday. They were SOOOO wonderfully delicious. No secret to the recipe - just took a muffin mix and added some chocolate chips instead of the can of blueberries. What was even better than the delicious taste was the amazing aroma that permeated our apartment all day.
The muffins were definitely a treat compared to our normal cereal and FiberOne bar for breakfast and I encourage you to fill your house with this glorious baked good one of these days. Here's a pic of how they turned out:
Yummy! (and yes I instagram'd the crap out of this picture!)
2) Lemon Sour Cream Poundcake - I have a recipe for this poundcake courtesy of the "Newlywed Kitchen" cookbook and have made this baked good a few times over the past 2 years. It's fun because I make it rarely enough that I can't just make it from memory so it feels like I am baking something that I haven't yet made, however I know that it is going to taste good because I have made it before. I also enjoy this recipe because it makes two loaves so we get to share with our co-workers.
Here's how our poundcake turned out:

(and this one was instagram'd as well)
That's it for our Sunday baking day - until next weekend when we probably bake again!
