Double Chocolate Salted Caramel Muffins

Have you ever gotten into a muffin vs. cupcake discussion with someone who feels passionate about finding the differences between the two?  I've been sucked into more of those conversations than I care to recall and there rarely seems to be any resolution. 

It all very subjective but in my unscientific opinion, if you serve a sweet baked treat before 10:00 AM and you don't put any frosting on it - it'a a muffin.  Slap some frosting on that same baked goody after 10:00 AM and bam --- it's a cupcake.  It's all about the timing and the presence (or absence) of frosting.

Some people would think that a Double Chocolate Salted Caramel Muffin might be too over the top for a morning breakfast treat but luckily - I'm not one of those people. 

I've somehow managed to avoid a morning coffee addiction but I seem to have replaced it with a chocolate addiction.  (I've got to get my caffeine somehow.)  ;)  I can eat chocolate from the very moment that I wake up to the moment that I go to bed.  My chocolate addiction does not discriminate - I can eat it ALL day.

Thanksgiving is exactly one week away and I am sooooo excited.  There are so many things that I'm looking forward to - not the least of these is sitting around the kitchen table early in the morning, munching on yummy muffins and talking with my sweet family.  Of course, I love turkey and pie too but its mostly about the people that will be gathering around my table.  

​Ciao!

Always imagine yourself as a double chocolate salted caramel muffin. Sorry that was a lot of hot air. What I am trying to say here is you might not know it but you could be overly selling yourself short to your own self and this could be what has been feeding your anxiety. If you feel you are just being real, then maybe it wouldn't hurt to have an opinion of yourself a little more higher than what you have right now. You don't deserve all these running thoughts. Whenever negative thoughts try to impair you, your attitude towards it should be "I will not even give you the benefit of my reply". You sell yourself short when you still mind them. You should take it as an insult when your own head tries to question your resentment towards something. If you hate them it means they deserve it. Don't listen to that voice inside your head trying to make you feel guilty about wanting to bludgeon the object of your irritation. This conflict is what has been causing anxieties. Love yourself and your opinions more. Stay on their side. Again, you are like a double chocolate salted caramel muffin. Everybody loves you. That hate, it's just all in your head.
