Those of you who have stayed at my house know I love to make
guests my “famous” healthy muffins. I
haven’t made them in a long, long time – but today I had all of the ingredients
so decided to go for it, and it resulted in an epiphany of sorts. I got everything out, mixed up the wet stuff:
bananas, blue agave syrup, vanilla, eggs, splash of brewed coffee. Then I measured out my flour, and dumped that
in. Only to realize – it wasn’t
flour. It was CORN MEAL! All that work (and expense) and now I had
ruined them! Or had I? I went back to my iPad and googled “banana
corn meal muffins”, and guess what? This
was actually a thing. So I just mixed it
up (didn’t add my nuts and berries, though), and baked them. They are awesome! So today’s advice: if you fuck up, just pretend you meant to do
it that way, serve up your mistake with a smile. You might just pull it
off! (Of course that doesn’t apply to
the banana bread my sister made me a couple of years ago, in which she replaced
sugar with salt. Sorry sis, it’s also
true that sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself and start over!)
