It has been extremely nice out lately. So I have spent most of my time lying under a huge oak tree reading. It is so calming and relaxing. Have you lovelies been reading anything good lately?
The other day I made lemon poppy seed muffins, but I had no muffin liners left! My mom suddenly remembered something she had recently read, you can cut parchment paper into squares and line the muffin tin with those. I decided to give it a go, and to my great surprise it worked like a charm!
I loved the way they turned out. I shall have to make muffins this way more often.
Off to Grandma's wonderful lake house for the weekend with cousin Rachel and other extended family and friends... :)
Have a great 4th of July weekend filled with sweet summer memories! Cheers!

Erika! Thank you for leaving me that nice comment :) I actually finished the Long Winter book a couple days ago and started to re read the whole series. I finished Little House In The Big Woods today, I'll start on the Little House In The Prairie tomorrow :) The books are very whimsical and very much your style!

I think I'm going to start making muffins with parchment paper instead of muffin liners...I love the way those look.
ReplyDeleteThey'd be fantastic to bring to a party...everyone would think you are just extra creative!
i never thought of using parchment paper...because i always run out of cupcake liners! i usually just spray the muffin pan with Pam, but that's about it.

The parchment paper is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI made cupcakes twice last week (strawberry and banana ones) without liners, they tasted fine but looked a little..off. I'll try out your mom's suggestion next time :)
