Let’s make some bagels, can we? Yes we can! For starters, today is my birthday, and on my birthday we can do anything we want. We can eat cake for breakfast and bagels for lunch and because it’s my birthday the calories don’t count. Please remember that I have an actual degree in nutrition, so [...]

We arrived home last night from our winter getaway to Thailand, and I’ve got a mountain of laundry to do and piles of pictures to sort through and groceries to buy and muffins to bake. I promise a post about our trip will be coming soon, but first lets bake some bread, shall we? I don’t [...]

My friend Sean and I made our first batch of fruitcake in 1995; I was 16 and he was 17 years old. It started as a joke. See, we had this theory that nobody actually ate fruitcake, they just hung onto it for a while and eventually re-gifted it. We wanted to see how long [...]

Recent weeks have seen me spending quite a lot of time wandering* around Lidingö, a rather affluent suburb of Stockholm where there are huge houses with million dollar views and magnificent sprawling yards. Most of these yards boast an assortment of fruit trees, many of which lean against the fence at the perimeter of the yard and arch [...]

Birthday cupcakes? Dang straight! The Muffin Myth was launched one year ago today! If I may, I’ll take a moment to thank once again the people responsible for helping me get this project off the ground, those who continue to support me in this endeavor, those who read, and those who actually make the recipes I [...]

Since finishing my last exam nearly a month ago I’ve been working a tonne, often teaching two different courses in the same day. On the days when I do end up with a block of free time, I load up this mammoth to-do list and genuinely convince myself each day that it will be an [...]

Hello there! It’s me, Katie, coming up for air. I keep telling myself that the worst is over, and I do think that’s true. The surge of contract work that saw me trying to squeeze studying in around 12 hour days of teaching is mostly done with, and I have to give a huge shout [...]
