Chocolate + Muffin in the same recipe title. OH YEAH BABY! These are perfectly moist, delicious and sweet with a simple powdered sugar topping and a side of fresh fruit.

Hoppin’ John Recipe
Black eyed peas make me think of two things. Well, three really. 1. The band. What fun music they produce! {bustin' out the dance moves} 2. My grandfather. He passed away many years ago, but I remember going to visit him in Houston when I was a kid. We'd eat at one of two restaurants near his home. I preferred 'The Black Eyed Pea,' right on I-10. It's long gone now, but … [Read more...]
