Chocolate Chip Banana Peanut Butter Muffins


I used the banana butterscotch chip muffin recipe from Nigella Lawson's "Nigella Express" cookbook.  I replaced the butterscotch chips with chocolate, the sugar with cane sugar, and the white flour with a mixture of whole wheat and kamut flour and ground flax seeds.  Then I put a dollop of all-natuaral peanut butter in the centre of each one.  There was one day when I ate four in one sitting.

Recycled Sweater Hat


In February, I took a "making things from recycled sweaters" workshop at Nathalie-Roze & co. in Leslieville.  I made this hat and some matching armwarmers.  It's cashmere.  I promptly went out and bought many many sweaters, and now I am going to make many many things out of them!

Like mittens:
