So, I have this thing where I stockpile cookbooks and magazines,

and then when I’m stuck for ideas, you’d think I’d head to my cabinets.

That would be the smart choice, except my cabinet is  full way beyond capacity, and removing one could result in injury.

One would think then that I could stop myself from adding to the collection; you would be wrong. I’ve even started collecting dog and chicken food  cookbooks.

Anyways, I did need to open my cookbook cabinet the other day, and my Eating Well cookbook literally fell into my lap. I took that as a sign to make Blueberry Macadamia Muffins, and what a smart decision that was.
