I think I need a bigger bowl!
Matt brought home another test item last night – a Raspberry Almond Muffin. I was commanded to try it out for breakfast!
Served with a healthy dose of greek yogurt, blueberries, banana, half a crumbled muffin and sunflower butter. The muffin’s flavor was great, but I think the bread/cake part needs work on the texture. I absolutely love the texture of our Blueberry Buttermilk muffins (this one was a little stiffer in comparison).
Silver Needle tea with milk! [New mug!]
Thank you Mother Nature for watering our plants for me
[Greens are gone and new summer veggies planted!]

That mug is so gorgeous!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Hehe I am notorious for choosing a smaller bowl than I need when I make salads. I end up spilling half of it on my placemat…… someday I’ll learn! Happy Friday Kath!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
Lucky duck! …A new muffin (that sounds great!) AND a nature watered garden! 🙂
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
That muffin sound delish! Do you guys make peach muffins too? Peach almond is my current favorite. I’m a GA stereotype, LOL!
KathEats says
I can’t remember if we have made a peach muffin – we put them in the Savannah bars for sure!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Pretty new mug! I doubt ANY of your baked goods are ever less than delicious!
Cait's Plate says
Love the new mug!! And yay for a hands-free garden watering 😉
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I’m always in need of a bigger bowl when I start packing on the toppings on oats or salads. I can get a little out of hand. I hope you have a great day!
Katie says
This one was a little stiffer in comparison… that’s what she said! Haven’t watched The Office for awhile, say that our DVR recorded the Welcome Party episode last night. I don’t know if I’m excited for this season or not, last season was just not the same without Steve Carrell. Raspberry almond sounds delicious, but I do agree that the texture can sometimes with the flavor. Raspberries seem to need a lighter, less dense muffin while other berries and flavors can be more dense or firmer. I have a cherry almond recipe that I was thinking of trying today. Yesterday I made banana blueberry and used about half whole wheat flour which worked well. Glad Mother Nature is helping her out, send her to Nebraska. I’m not so worried about my grass and plants, but the farmers desperately need rain. We are in a drought and there seems to be no relief in sight, 104 degree temperatures into next week! Have a fabulous Friday!

raspberry almond muffins sound perfect right now to me! wish we had a great harvest closer than 2 hours away. your backyard looks so lush…very nice!
Jordan @ Bake Write Sleep says
I love eating things in small bowls. I love tiny things. I’m weird.
Jodi @ Jodi, Fat or Not says
It’s been pouring here since I woke up – loving the break from the heat!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
That muffin sounds delicious!! Sounds like a tough job having to be the new product tester… 😉
Kimberly says
Being married to a baker sounds really tough. Demands to eat muffins for breakfast is torture. 😉
Brie @ Coxswain Dilemma says
One of the top reasons I’m excited to move house/start my new life is to BUY CUTE BOWLS LIKE YOU HAVE.
kristen @ verbs and vignettes says
so much gardening this summer! I love it.
I cannot get a good texture when I try to make muffins. therefore, I’m leaving it to the professionals (aka K + M). 😉
Andrea says
Ooh what new veggies did you plant?!
KathEats says
More zucchini and squash!
Andrea says
Fun! My zucchini plants are going crazy right now! I’m getting ready to plant another crop too, just have to decide what 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Haha I’m pretty sure I would LOVE to be a muffin taster! Actually, I think my dream job would be the person who comes up with new ice cream flavors! I’ve always wondered who gets that job…
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
I love the combination of raspberries and almonds…Peach, raspberry and almond is also another tasty combo!
Annette @FitnessPerks says

Shucks — tough to be commanded to be quality control! 🙂 Love the new mug! So much fun when Mother Nature does the watering…
Avery @ Texas Teen Keeps Lean says

I LOVE the new mug! You find the cutest stuff:)
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
The muffin sounds awesome. If you guys need guinea pigs, I’m available. You know…for a customer perspective. 😉
Nicole says
I have to admit I was very skeptical about this plain yogurt breakfast you have so often. I DO NOT like the taste of plain yogurt. Always have to mix fruit puree or something in it (which I rather do to avoid the added sugar). Today I decided to try it with blueberries, banana, granola, a sprinkle of sunflower seeds and almond butter. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! I only had a hard time eating the last couple bites of the plain yogurt, but I think I’ll be adding this to the breakfast list. I also thought the nut butter on top would be weird but I really liked it. Question, how much yogurt to you eat? A serving is a cup but that is way to much for me, especially with all the added toppings. I did about 2/3 cup…
KathEats says
Glad you liked it!
I do about 2/3 a cup too : )
Rae @ Name of Wellness says
Everyone is raving about the mug (which is indeed lovely) but i have my eyes on that bowl!! I also tend to like smaller versions of things. I eat my oats in the morning our of an espresso spoon, while the boyfriend practically uses a spatula!

Christina@thebeautifulbalance says
That muffin looks delicious! Being married to a baker must be dangerous, constantly tempted (or forced haha) by all of these delicious baked goods! Yummm! What type of nut butter do you use?
KathEats says
Trader Joe’s sunflower butter
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
That is my favorite!
Jessica @ New Girl, New City says
A muffin and yogurt sounds AMAZING!
And that is a super cute bowl, even if it is small!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Your big breakfast bowls always look so good!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
buttermilk in baking is great – and if using another milk other than it for the new muffins, the crumb may be a little tougher and denser but I’m sure I’m not telling you anything new here 🙂
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
I think Mother Nature missed the memo that I didn’t need watering today in D.C. 😉
Dee says
I love that white bowl! Is it ceramic? I am in love with ceramics lately.
KathEats says
Yep!
Karen says
That backyard is *gorgeous*. Every time I see pictures of it I drool. May I ask how big it is (sq. ft). We are house hunting and I’m trying to figure out what we may need 🙂
KathEats says
I think half an acre, but I could be wrong..
