Now that my blog has been formally introduced by me and (I hope) talked up around the water cooler by you, it's time for me to share my first recipe. It's a big deal, this post. First impressions are important. I don't want to set the bar too high (rabbit stew and handmade croissants) or too low (PB & J's and ants-on-a-log). I should go with something basic, something classic, maybe something that I think is a good representation of my culinary style.
But in the end, I'm going with what I felt like making yesterday.
They're healthy.
They're hearty.
They're delicious.
And they are so, so glamorous. People, I give you:
The Bran Muffin.

These are not your average bran muffin. They are moist. They are dense, but not too dense. And best of all, they are the perfect autumn breakfast. I am a perfectionist, fall is my favorite season, and I think breakfast is the best meal of the day. Remember that time I said that my first post should be representative of my culinary style?
Looks like my style is a bran muffin. Like I said: G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S.
