I just can't find flavorful berries around here--except the ones from the farmer's market. <br />In fact, now that I think on it--this morning my spouse and I walked down to the farmer's market where we bought local blueberries and could have bought local strawberries. Our raspberry bushes are ripening more berries each day, so it's totally possible--today at least--to have a flavorful mixed berry concoction in my house. Hooray!<br />As for taking them to work--I did that the other week and got a thumbs up from my coworkers.<br />Thanks!Kirstenhttp://www.farmfreshfeasts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689405125611757524.post-81718219190846053922014-06-21T08:45:00.591-07:002014-06-21T08:45:00.591-07:00Maia,

Your suggestion of white chocolate chips ...Heather,<br />Your suggestion of white chocolate chips is a brilliant one--I'm glad I listened to you!<br />If you are using table salt I'd use a regular ½ teaspoon since I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make an overly salty muffin. The original recipe book of muffins that I got my initial proportions out of many years ago probably used table salt, so if anything my muffins are slightly under-salted. Still enough salt for the chemical reactions, though.<br />Thanks!Kirstenhttp://www.farmfreshfeasts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689405125611757524.post-12894570081215340932014-06-21T08:34:54.143-07:002014-06-21T08:34:54.143-07:00Meghan,

Every once in a while I've taken a stab at a red velvet cake, but the inside always bakes up kind of a yellow-orange.

Seriously, I have a question about your measure. You say a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Since you specify kosher which is courser grained, if a person was using table salt should they use a scant 1/2 teaspoon measure? We use kosher all of the time for cooking but for baking I was always taught to use table salt.

I've actually been trying to move my food into the shade so I don't get direct sunlight. That's when I'm photographing outdoors. <br /><br />I may have to try cooked beets again seeing as how none of your muffin recipes have ever led me astray. In fact, I've been craving your savory butternut squash ones lately. I think I still have some frozen shredded squash so it might be possible.
