A while back, I asked for requests to give me some baking/cooking inspiration. I got but one (Well, now I have 2 - Faye... your peppermint patties are coming, I bought all the stuff for them)! My nana a.k.a Grandma requested Maple Walnut Muffins. So, this past weekend, I made the woman some Maple Walnut Muffins to fulfill her request and recognize her March birthday, albeit belated! Maple Walnut Muffins as found  here : 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup real maple syrup (not Aunt Jemima) 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk (I only had almond milk, it worked just fine!) 1/2 walnuts (please use more! there weren't enough!) 1.In one bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt together. Set aside. 2. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs and stir in the delicious maple syrup. 3. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture. Stir. It will seem really runny. ...

We went to  Over Easy  for breakfast! I love that place... Then, we went to the  Farmer's Market  where I bought beets, blackberries, almond butter and chorizo sausages. Then, to conclude our tour, I made a stop at  Lazy Loaf  - they have the best  Ginger Cream cookies. I somehow managed to practice self control and didn't buy one, but geezus did I ever want to! Yes, all food.... and really, it shouldn't come as a surprise! Then, I got to have a fantastic visit with my BFF. We went to  The Coup  for dinner and some delicious coconut chai! So good. Then, today - I got to see her  again ! It's so handy that she lives down the street.   After all of my socializing - I had to do my long run (blah). It was really hard today and I am sure ...
