Oatmeal Raisin Muffins are a wholesome snack, or breakfast on-the-go, made delicious with raisins, oats, buttermilk and brown sugar.

The other day after school, while Greta was napping, Adam presented me with a cookbook. A cookbook that was all about muffins. That’s my kind of cookbook! He proceeded to point out several recipes that we should make…now! I was inspired by an Oatmeal Breakfast Muffin, but needed to switch up the ingredients to use up what we had on hand (no way am I waking the baby to go to the store!) After a quick peek in the pantry, I found oatmeal, brown sugar, buttermilk and California Raisins. Sounds like the makings of a tasty Oatmeal Raisin Muffin!…

Buffalo Aioli | An easy recipe for aioli with a buffalo sauce twist!

Buffalo Aioli #SundaySupper

June 1, 2014 ·

Buffalo Aioli takes a basic aioli recipe and transforms it into something extraordinary…buffalo style! A bowl, a whisk, a few simple ingredients, and 5 minutes are all you need to make this easy recipe.

Aioli is one of those accompaniments that I always enjoy at restaurants. It puts an upscale twist on the simplest sandwiches, burgers, vegetables and has the ability to turn a simple plate of fries into frites! For whatever reason, it never occurred to me how easy aioli is to make at home. Then one night, we were making oven fries, and I wanted to do something to dress them up. I had an egg yolk leftover from another recipe, we are crazy for anything buffalo, and from there it was a natural progression to become Buffalo Aioli!
