Oatmeal Muffins

These muffins, according to the people who've had them, are really good. I'll let you know as soon as I've tried one. One of the muffins (poor thing) got stuck to the tin and ripped. You definitely have to wiggle them to get them out. You get 12 muffins from this recipe.  [update: these are indeed moist, delicious muffins].





Tangy Scrambled Eggs With Salami and Cheese

What do you do when you have a bunch of leftovers too small to do much with? Make eggs, of course! These scrambled eggs were easy and satisfying, and made me feel virtuous for using up food that might otherwise be forgotten and sad.





Whole Wheat Loaf

If you've ever been afraid to make bread try making a quick loaf: it's essentially a muffin on steroids. There's no yeast and, therefore, no tricky rising-and-kneading process. Everyone who had this bread loved it, including me, but next time I'm going to try making it with 1/4 cup sugar. As you can see, it was also a little burnt, even though I set the timer 5 minutes early and took it out 5 minutes before that. So the bread was yummy, but my oven hates me.

Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes

To be honest, I found the cupcakes a little dry, even though no one else had a problem with them. I'm going to be experimenting with the recipe to see if I can't make it better. The name is also a bit deceptive: these are really just vanilla cupcakes with a sweetened whip-cream frosting and strawberry garnish. The same basic vanilla cupcake recipe occurs throughout the cookbook I used, so I think it's worth tinkering with it.
