Happy National Muffin Day!

I set a calendar reminder for this food holiday because I knew it would be an opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen with Ella, my fun-loving, bright, kind and witty bonus-daughter who can hold her own in the kitchen. She’s 11. She’s a natural. And she makes banana bread like nobody’s business!!

At a recent family reunion I discovered these luscious Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies. They are rich, crispy on the edges yet soft on the inside, with a hint of sea salt. Can you see that molten chunk of chocolate there? It’s the ‘Double’ in this cookie’s name.

I have this bag of baking supplies that I hide out of sight in the hall coat closet. My logic is questionable since I (1) hid it, and (2) it’s been discovered. It contains everything from Peanut M&M’s to Hershey’s Kisses to Ferrero Rocher, plus assorted other essentials like chocolate chips, shredded coconut, marshmallows, and Heath toffee bits.
