Chocolate Chip Muffins

​People have been telling me about pinterest for months and I've never really taken the time to go on the site and see for myself what it's all about.  (I spend a lot of time sitting at my computer already so I'm hesitant of internet sites that can drain even more time out of my day.)  I was curious enough to check out pinterest anyway and I was pleasantly surprised.  It was really interesting and I found tons of recipes!  I posted a bunch of my recipes onto my boards and it was really quick and easy.  I am not the computer savvy person that my husband is, so I felt really accomplished having navigated this site independently.  (I like to take the credit but it wasn't really me but the fact that pinterest makes it really easy.)  After an hour on pinterest, I was completely sucked in.  It was fun to watch as people "repinned" or "liked" one of my recipes.   I posted this Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe on my muffin board today.       

Chocolate Chip Muffins
2 ½ cups flour                                         1 cup + 1 Tablespoon sugar
