A short time ago, I tried out a brand new recipe from a South Beach friendly cookbook – Pumpkin Walnut muffins.
Not good for Phase I – but Keith and I aren’t “doing” South Beach, just trying to incorporate healthier recipes.
So, I spent a bit of time in the kitchen, mixing together the ingredients – sampling along the way – baking them to what I would consider perfection.
They were divine! But big – so, to help with portion control, Keith and I decided we would share them, splitting them in half.
The dozen muffins became two-dozen half muffins and took far longer to devour than would have been otherwise.
Just a couple mornings ago, Keith reached into the container to pull out a muffin, only to discover small bundles of white fuzz dotting the tops of each muffin.
EEEK!!!
Sigh.
We’re not big fan of eating foods that have mold on or in them – unless that’s the way they’re supposed to be.
Into the trash went the remaining muffins. Such a waste.
But I’ve learned an important lesson – either pig out and eat ’em before they grow fuzz or ration ’em by tossing them in the freezer, which the recipe’s author suggested doing in the first place.
Live and learn, right?
Happy Eats!Deb
