Chocolate Chip Muffins! YUM!

My friend Kimberly gave me an amazing muffin recipe! Here it is!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

1/2 cup applesauce 

1/3 cup shortening or butter

2 eggs 

1/3 cup water 

1 1/4 cups sugar 

1 1/2 cups flour

1/3 cup baking cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips

In a mixing bowl, combine applesauce, shortening (butter), eggs, water and sugar; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Combine dry ingredients; add to 

applesauce mixture. Beat on low for 30 seconds. Beat on high for 2 1/2 

minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. . Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

Make sure you don't fill the muffin cups too high, or you will get saucer tops on your muffins! These are really great. Instead of using chocolate chips I cut up chocolate bars and put them into the batter. I wanted bigger chocolate chunks than mere chips would provide! :) 

Enjoy!

Just Another Manic Friday...

This is my favorite makeup artist! She has such great tips!

Tomorrow I am doing a service internship for a choir festival held at BYU-Idaho. I will be escorting choirs around campus and teaching them stuff! Don't know what yet, so tomorrow could be interesting! 

My teachers sent me home early today from class because I have the flu. I got it from my hubby, so we've both been bumming around all night watching movies in our PJ's and eating KFC. I was once told by a nutrition teacher in a college class that when you are sick is the best time to eat fatty foods because your body needs more calories to fight off the sickness, so my husband and I have skipped the healthy dinner in favor or vitamin c tablets, greasy yummy food and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! Yum! 

Heres a picture of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies!

Thanks for reading! And make sure to follow me on your blog and I will follow yours! :)
