On a Muffin Mission

December 13, 2009 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Last night as I was flipping through a couple of recipe books in bed – that’s my kind of bedtime reading – I decided that I wanted to bake a batch of muffins. This rain is ideal baking weather, and I haven’t done much in the way of cooking/baking lately. So…my mission was to find a recipe that I had the ingredients for, most of ’em anyway. Mission accomplished: Carrot Raisin Bran Muffins

After hitting my snooze button and sleeping an extra hour and a half, I rolled out of bed and headed straight to the kitchen. I cut the recipe in half to make 12 muffins, and made a couple other adjustments as well. They turned out wonderful, but a little on the sugary side for breakfast.

I will not bake muffins without these paper liners. They are the best thing that has happened to me, baking wise : )

Clean, crumb-free paper…my point exactly!

I paired my muffin with tangy cinnamon apple sauce – nom nom.

I am locking myself in the library for a couple hours today (no computer allowed), and hopefully fitting in some physical activity as well.

Let the 12 Days of Christmas begin…

    Breakfast date?! Those muffins look amazing! One of my biggest pet peeves is when you lose half your muffin cause it’s stuck to the paper liner (maybe i’m just greedy :-p)

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
