Strawberries and New Muffin Pans

Today after a quick nap and scrubbing my kitchen clean, I did what any "Baker" would do with strawberries, new muffin tin, Glee music playing and a couple of hours to spare, I make Strawberry Muffins.

For Christmas this year I asked my oldest brother and his wife for only 2 things really. Muffin/ cupcake pans and a ice cream scoop. You may be asking what one had to do with the other, if anything at all. Well I love to use an ice cream scoop to get the perfect amount of batter for muffins every time.

When I went home from college and saw the present under the Christmas tree with my name on it, I just knew I was going to have the best Christmas ever. What I didn't know was how much under that tree was really mine. Needless to say my brother spoiled me.

I know have anything I would ever need to make about 100 cupcakes with no problem. So today I thought I'd better put my presents to good use. I have been researching. Yes researching, muffins and cupcake recipes the other day I came across one for strawberry muffins of muffinrecipes.net.

Well today I had strawberries....
