Thank you all soooooo much for all your job congratulations! It means a lot that so many people are happy for me. I was pretty happy myself. In fact I was doing a happy dance.

There is a song to the tune of “Hey It’s Your Birthday.” It goes “My birthday’s in 9 days. Do do do do do . And I got a job today. Do do do do do.” Yep, I’m club scene material.

Two of my favorite things I ate today were a banana with almond butter and a cheater’s green juice.

I also made and consumed some delicious Mixed Berry Muffin Squares, approved by me for The Cleaner Life Month.

Have a great night! Eat muffins.

In the winter I baked with olive oil quite a bit and remember how delicious and unique the results were. Today I wanted to make some muffins, but was out of butter and any other oil, so I went back to baking with olive oil.

I modified Tina’s Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Muffins, which she created based on a recipe from Jenna.

Chocolate Olive Oil Muffins

You Need:

• 2 flax eggs (2 T flax + 6 T water)
• 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 – 4 T of Soy Milk

Steps:

1. In a small bowl combine the water and flax, stir and let sit for a few minutes.
2. In another bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
3. Add the olive oil and flax eggs and stir.
4. The batter will be thick so add enough soy milk to make them a little thinner, but not too thin! Start with 1 T and add as needed.
5. Bake in sprayed mini muffin pans for 12-15 minutes at 350*.

Makes 8 mini muffins, two of which I had as a snack this afternoon.
