NEW VIDEO!!!! Join Pia and I to learn how to make these muffins!

Happy Weekend! I realized that I have had this video for quite some time, and this is a wonderful day to share it since I made these this morning.

We have the Seahawks playoff game today and we are all hunkered down in this freezing cold, dark, wet weather while waiting for the snow to start today! It is supposed to snow off and on all week, and in Seattle that equals Snow-mageddon. Total and complete chaos and shutdowns of pretty much everything if there is a half inch. We are scheduled to fly to LA mid-week, so fingers crossed we can get in and out with no problems!

In the meantime, I am stocking up at the grocery store this morning and baking up a storm so that everyone feels cozy and like god forbid we don’t run out of food around here! These were Pia’s request since they are some of her favorites. She likes me to make them because Coco does not like almond extract, so that means Pia can have them all to herself- and she seriously does eat them ALL!
