Multigrain Muffins

Written by Published on Updated on June 3, 2019 in Breads

Hello,

How is everyone today?  I just want to give a shout out to Lena from @the_authentic_mediterranean who just so happens to be an amazing Greek Food Blogger. 🙂  Lena contacted me a few days ago to ask if she could re-post my Sun Dried Tomatoes & Parmesan Salad Dressing on her IG page. I said Yes!!  🙂  I have been following Lena for a while and I love her work.  If you have an IG account please drop by Lena’s page I am sure you will love it just as much as I do. 🙂  THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! SE EYXARISTO POLI!! 🙂

The other day I was reading a blogger’s post that said that Food Bloggers tend to write to much before the recipe and it gets boring, she also said a whole lot more but I am not going to go into it.  I was upset when I first read the post but then I realised that this is what we like to do just like every other blogger. 

I enjoy reading everyone’s post, some make me laugh, (some are just so funny), some make me cry, and some are so touching.  We Food Bloggers tell our stories so that you can get to know who we are, our likes, dislikes, lives and our cultures. I believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. 🙂  

Since, I do not consider myself to be much of a writer, and I say this because I am much more of a talker,  love to talk and when given the opportunity, I talk a lot. I say this because I studied Law, need I say more? 🙂  So I will leave you with that bit of info and on with the recipe hehehehe 🙂

This is the first time I have ever made these type of Muffins.  I was a bit skeptical at first but then I said “why not” if they don’t turn out the way you want them to just try it again, it took me 3 tries before I got it right. 🙂

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

    These sound wonderful Sophie. 🙂 And I like it when bloggers tell me something before the recipe, or after. It helps me get to know them.

    Personally, I like to read what food bloggers, like you, write! I love to know why you chose a recipe, what you thought of it and how you modified it (if you did). Keep writting and cooking Sophie❤️

      Me too I like reading what is going on with everyone…I think its lovely that we can all tell a short or long story of our day/lives. 🙂 But there is always the option of just scrolling down to the recipe. 🙂
