Strawberry muffins




It's the last weekend of winter so I thought I'd bake some of these yummy muffins I found in a magazine last night, for afternoon tea after hubby gets home.

You'll need :

♥ 2 cups of self-raising flour
♥1/2 cup of raw sugar
♥1 lightly beaten egg
♥1 cup of milk
♥4 tbsp of melted butter
♥& 1 punnet of strawberries

Preheat the oven to 200C or just under for a fan forced. I lightly greased the muffin pan with coconut oil so they will have a subtle coconut flavour but I am still undecided on this particular oil. I've read some really good reviews on it & also some not so good..so for now i use it to grease the pans when I make muffins or cupcakes & it does leave them with a nice coconut scented/flavour!

Mix all your dry ingredients then add the milk, melted butter & the egg. Lightly mix in the strawberries & cook for 20 to 25 minutes depending on your oven.

Leave to cool for 5 minutes before popping them out onto a wire cooler.

Beautiful!

Daffodil Day 2010







































It's Daffodil Day again & I have 2 bunches of closed Daffodils that are waiting to open.
Maybe Sunday.
All of the open bunches were already sold but these will be nice when they do bloom.
Daffodils symbolize new life & hope.

Last week a longtime friend of ours died suddenly from an aggressive form of Cancer. She too was in her early 60's & one of the nicest, loving people we had ever met. Both of these strong, beautiful, giving women are in my thoughts especially today.

Love to you both xoxoxox
