Food Friday-Apple & brown sugar muffins

Smitten Kitchen strikes again, this time with muffins.

Not just any muffins. These muffins are chock-full of words like chock-full.

These muffins have chunks of apple (I used Honeycrisp, my favorite!), brown sugar, buttermilk, whole wheat flour, and other yummy things.

They were so good, in fact, that I ended up making two batches in one day. That's a rarity, unless we're talking about marathon holiday baking.

If you are trying to decide what to do with those delicious fall apples, make some of these. You won't regret it!

By the way, there's still time to enter the contest!

Two years old and a contest!

Yep. Two years of blogging for me! I'm not tired of it yet, and hopefully, you're not either.
On this, my blogibirthday numero dos, I find it funny that again, my number of completed projects is twenty-one. Apparently, that's my magic number.

The breakdown for this year:

5 hats

7 shawls/scarves/neckwarmers

1 pair of gloves/mitts

2 cozies/misc. items

6 shrugs/sweaters/vests

0 socks (<----Lame!!)

0 bags

At least eight of these are gifts.

I've also got
eight
WIPs on the needles right now.

To celebrate my blogibirthday, I'm having a little contest. The prize:
Some of my stashed Malabrigo. Two skeins, to be exact.

One in powder blue, one in Loro barranquero. Additionally, I will send you a couple of pattern booklets or magazines to round out the package. And, by leaving a comment with your favorite Halloween candy, you might find some of that in the package as well!

I will take comments until Saturday, October 31st, 6:00 PM CST.

I will post the winner next Sunday.

Thanks for reading. I enjoy this little (not so little, really!) world of knitters, crafters and bloggers. I've learned so much in the past year, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

ETA: If I don't have an email or ravelry username for you, be sure to check back here next Sunday in case you win!
