MJ's Migraine Muffins
"These are about the best muffins I have ever tasted. They got their peculiar name when one evening I was down with a migraine and my neighbor baked and brought them over for the family to enjoy. When I recovered in the wee hours of the morning after not eating for close to 48 hours, seeing these on the kitchen counter I ate one...well all I can tell you was that they were pure heaven. After eating these delightful morsels I asked MJ for the recipe, but she continued to forget to give it to me until one morning many months later she finally e-mailed it to me and on that very day I had another migraine. Go figure, they're a nice cure anyway!"

I had a raging migraine the day I decided to prepare these very easy to prepare muffins. They were very quick to mix up and turned out lovely and very delicious. I loved the combination of banana, oats and chocolate chips. I don't know that they healed my migraine, but they made my tummy surre feel good. They were so tasty, I ate 3 in one sitting. -
Really nice. However, next time I would put in less chocolate chips. Felt there were a bit too many for my taste.

Hi Everyone!
Well what can I tell you about myself...I’m HOUSEMANAGER (a name given to me by my family) a 43 year old Christian gal married to a wonderful man with a beautiful 8 year old competitive gymnast daughter who looks like a princess.
I’m absolutely passionate about food. My love of cooking / baking and all things food is only rivaled by my love for interior design and my in-depth interest in forensic science (what a combination). This explains my "OFF BEAT" humor! It wasn't always that way, I used to make a joke that my first marriage ended in divorce because of my then disdain for the kitchen... WOW HAVE I CHANGED!
I’m really an artist at heart, everything I’ve ever been involved in or am doing currently revolves around the creative within me. For over 15 years I was in business for myself (The Salon Industry) where I met my now present husband. We currently own and operate our own Consulting / Marketing / Advertising firm, catering primarily to real estate agents and their properties. Yes, I have a techy background that spills into our business which is unique in that we handle all the details from start to finish. Business interests take us deep into the internet...a story on it's own!
I collect chefs (yea,you read right), cookbooks and dishes. The dishes / table settings are in every color and style imaginable. I love to set theme tables that emphasizes the food (that’s the artist in me). I have an insatiable interest in cooking techniques and ingredients, especially the exotic.
Our home is blessed with an array of cats, a dog, hamsters, exotic birds and tropical fish. There’s a whole lot of God, love and laughter being served along with the food here!
I adore this site and I tip my hat to all the staff and ‘zaar contributors. There is a lot of “stuff” out there but this is a 5 star site, you should all be exceedingly glad in the direction the site is going! Your endless hard work is appreciated.
