Chocolate Chip Muffins

I have recently started enjoying baking & cooking so I have decided to post my favorite recipes on here. These are not MY recipes, they are recipes I have found, tried and enjoyed :)

If you like chocolate chip muffins, you will LOVE these.

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour (white or unbleached)
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
½ cup butter (melted and cooled)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (11 ½ ounce) package milk chocolate chips (or less)
½ cup walnuts (chopped) optional

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 muffins cups (or muffin tins). In a large bowl mix together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
Step 2: In another bowl stir together eggs, milk, butter and vanilla until well blended. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk mixture into the well and stir until well combined. Lightly stir in chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

Step 3: Spoon batter into muffins cups or tins. Place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

all the things

Well, no new pictures but Hatley is doing all kinds of amazing new things!!! About a week ago, Hatley started rolling over ALL THE TIME!! even when she is sleeping she will roll to her back and wake herself up but cant figure out how to roll her self back over. I am ready for the day that I don't have to go in there and roll her to her stomach so she can sleep without startling. She has also started laughing. A sweet little belly laugh. It might be the cutest noise I have ever heard! Patrick and I try our hardest to find things everyday that will make her laugh. And the last thing that Hatley has started doing is singing :) She sings in her crib when I am ignoring her so she will take a nap. She sings to her favorite TV show "Olivia" and she sings while she is swinging. This girl loves to sing!! Well, thats all for now, hopefully pictures soon :)

Until then,

good morning, good day, or goodnight!!
