Jacqueline
Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

You are so lucky to get to spoil your granddaughter! And what a lucky girl she is too. The muffins look delish! XO Cindy

ReplyDeleteLooks delightfully delicious Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun grandmama you are! Those muffins look FABULOUS -- what a great flavor combo! And, of COURSE, you must have sprinkles -- when you're seven, for sure! My granddaughter (8)and grandson (6) are coming this weekend, and we are definitely going to bake!

You are a bad influence!! LOL.. I love chocolate and this makes me drool! I wouldn't have thought of trying chocolate chips in a muffin but it does sound good. Kids love sprinkles! My daughter would always find one with the most! I've never been to a Trader Joes but I've heard of them. Sounds like a fun place to find some goodies!
ReplyDeleteWell anyway starting the day with Chocolate Raspberry Muffins sounds delightful to me!
I sure wish I had a granddaughter to spoil with HOT muffins! Can't wait for the recipe, I will spoil my HONEY:):) Loved her nails. I am in Fl. right now so way behind on e-mils due to VERY limited computer access. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteThis is one cheery table, one that any granddaughter would feel special to have set for her. I can see you know just how to create memories with her.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so yummy! (I think I'm hungry now.) You had such a sweet time with your granddaughter. Thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteCandy
I'm ooo-ing and aww-ing here too! I decided this morning I just had to stop the sweets for a while and lose a few pounds-you are killing me here! I can't give them up entirely-I do allow myself 2 or 3 of those Dove hearts or Hershey Kisses with my coffee. You gotta have a little chocolate every day!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! Looks wonderful.Thanks for sharing JoAnn
ReplyDeleteYour muffins do look delicious! Made even better with warm chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter must feel like a princess when she comes to stay (and rightly so) ;)
Yummmm, I can smell the muffins! And with my favorite, chocolate milk. What a lucky granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of afternoon I dream I'll have one day. I miss those days with my little girls now grown. I hope I have a granddaughter (or ten) one day.
ReplyDeleteThis is just darling to me. I love the peppermint sticks as stirs. It's my firm opinion that everything just tastes better when served in festive stemware and on a pretty presentation.
And I saw those cookies in the previous post while reading. Oh, wow. I loved the chocolate sugar lips.
Major YUM!!
ReplyDeleteLucky little girl to spend time with you! Dove chocolates are my favorite, too! ~ sarah

ReplyDeleteOh I can only imagine how wonderful those Chocolate Raspberry Muffins are WARM! Topped with chocolate love too~ what a lucky girl your granddaughter is to be served this sweet tray!
ReplyDeleteI'm a BIG TJoe's fan~ it's a little off my beaten path, but I try to make my route include it if I can every couple of weeks :)
