Chocolate Chip Cupcake / Muffin Party

Written by Published on Updated on October 10, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hello 🙂

Catching up with friends who live around the world has been difficult these past few months.  So, I sent out a message last week and mentioned to them that we should have a Virtual Coffee/Cupcake Party.  They loved the idea!!  We all prepared different cupcakes, and or muffins brought our Java chatted on Skype for about 1 hour. It was fun!!   

I decided on making muffins, rather than cupcakes. The frosting part is difficult for me. I just can’t seem to manage to squeeze the frosting out of the plastic bag.  I have bought all types of bags and nozzles and well I am useless when it comes to frosting. Hubby asked if I could add some chocolate chips in them which I did.  I also made a small batch of Vanilla muffins for me.  When I say small I mean 4. 🙂  I ate two cupcakes while chatting and two this morning while working.    Here’s a question for ya, do you think that Muffins can be eaten all year round orrrr are they just for those cozy winter months?   

Ever since the beginning of the month I have been feeling restless, I guess it’s the Aries in me. I want to go see my mom, my friends, dip into those beautiful turquoise waters in Greece and just get away from everything for a while.  Is anyone else feeling like I am?  Would love to know if you are planning on going on vacation or vacationing at home.  

Have a great day and rest of the week!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Muffins are for any and all seasons!!😋 I feel you about the restlessness and missing places and people. My family is quite scattered around the world, but we usually catch up in summer when everybody gets back to Estonia for a while. This year we won’t be leaving France though and I miss all my childhood places that I would love to get to with my own kids now.. The cupcake party is a wonderful idea. I should have one with my sister and cousins as well🥰🧁🥰

      I am glad you liked the idea…It was a lot of fun. Since, you are not going back home maybe this cupcake party is definitely could be a great idea and so much fun. I added a few balloons into it but Charlie my dog broke most of them before I could get anyone to see them on skype. hahhah I know how difficult it is not going back home..:( but try to think positive and lets hope that this ends quickly…Sending you hugs and thanks so much!!!

    What a fun idea! And year around I think unless it’s just too too hot to bake!! I am high risk. Staying home, staying away from stores and so on. Walking the dog a lot. Very antsy and getting anxious here in the US. I was hoping our cases would have started diminishing after our lock down that people would start wearing masks and it would be safer for us high risk people but we are a nation of psychopaths. Polls show 89 percent in favor of wearing masks but behavior shows differently!

    There is a part of me that wants to get exposed and get over with the worst and either die or move forward, but common sense prevails! I want to see my new grandbaby in Georgia and I’m in Minnesota!

    Stay safe there sweetie!

      Hi Mollie, It was a lot of fun. I threw in some balloons too but Charlie got to most of them before anyone can see them. hahahahh I know what you mean friends and relatives of mine back in the states are a little frustrated with some that refuse to wear masks. 🙁 I seriously can not understand it!! Please please try to stay positive…we all go have those negative thoughts. believe me I feel you!! But remember you have a family and grandbabies that are also waiting to see you!!! and us of course your blogging friends who love reading your posts and love those gorgeous recipes you post…Sending you huge hugsssss Sophie

    No icing is the best and my favourite way to eat any cake. I will use a napkin and get that stuff off any cake/cupcake. Muffins are for sure good year round! Not only for mornings either 🙂 Great recipe as always. Thank you for sharing it with us 🙂
