Everyone at my work takes turns bringing treats on Friday and I got a lot of good feedback on my entry today. These recipes were quite easy (I did shopping then made all three between 6:30 and 10:30 pm on Thursday) and there weren't any really exotic ingredients.These may be the best muffins I've ever had. Sweet, moist, crunchy (I used medium grind cornmeal) - perfection. I also used skim milk (which didn't affect the taste, from what I could tell) and one pint of blueberries, which is a bit more than the 1/2 cup it calls for.

I'm a sucker for coconut and these little beauties were delicious. The one thing I would've done differently, however, is to let the bananas ripen more. Mine were still edible, and I think for this recipe to really wow, they need to be much darker. But still very good!
Cool Veggie Pizza Appetizer (pictured right)
I hadn't made this in years, and in doing so, I remembered that it's one of my favorite super easy entertainment recipes. I changed a lot of things about the spread this time, but it's one of those things that you can play with and figure out what works best. I don't like Miracle Whip, so I made it with cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing and mayonnaise instead (the same amount of cream cheese, small amounts of the other three). Also, instead of onion salt and dill, I used a tablespoon of the Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup powder. Delicious!
