First of all I want to give a big thank you to everyone who nominated me for blogger awards!!! Amber from The Tasty Alternative nominated me for The Sunshine Award. Paula from Live Life Gluten Free nominated me for the Liebster Award, and H. Dickenson from Allergy Friendly Taste Buds nominated me for The Addictive Blog Award. All three sites are amazing and I highly encourage everyone to check them out! Thank you again :)
I love cherries but can't usually afford to buy them because they are outrageously expensive. But since cherries are in-season and reasonably priced this time of year I've been on a real cherry kick. The past few weeks after getting home from the store me and the kids have them all eaten before I even have my groceries put up! This week when I bought cherries I had to keep them hidden in a sack so no one would eat them before I could make my muffins :) Everyone was happy I hid them though because they loved the muffins (and they got to eat the leftover cherries)!
I think cherries and chocolate magically go together. The muffins taste rich and decadent but are actually pretty healthy. Did you know cherries are often referred to as a super fruit because of all their health benefits? But don't tell my kids or they might stop eating them!
