What's your dream meal?  The meal that you lay awake in bed at night thinking about indulging in.  The food that you would eat if there were no consequences like cholesterol, calories and diabetes.  Would it be rich and buttery lobster tails, or juicy, slow roasted prime rib or a carbohydrate fest of pasta and bread?  Maybe you'd choose a greasy double cheeseburger from In and Out Burger or go straight to Jeni's for a scoop of ridiculously delicious ice cream.  

Since I'm asking you to share your dream meal with me, I feel it's only fair that I share MY dream meal with YOU.  My dream meal changes and is hardly ever consistent.  It changes based on my mood, hormones, season, etc.  Lately, I've been dreaming about fresh, bottom dwelling seafood like lobster, shrimp and crab dipped in a bowl of salty, melted butter.  And a giant platter of warm, freshly baked bread is absolutely necessary in almost all of my dream meal scenarios.  As for dessert, something fruity and some sort of deep, dark, rich and decadent chocolate creation is also key.  It sounds excessive but after all - it's a DREAM meal.  There are days when my dream meal would consist ONLY of dessert.  🍰

Everyone's dream meal is going to be different.  But if you dream about fruity, buttery, streusel topped muffins - you might want to consider adding these Strawberry Banana Oatmeal muffins to your dream meal.  These muffins are really exceptional.  I dare say -- dream meal worthy.
