Nectarines, raspberries, strawberries, zuchinni, squash, apricots...and those are just some of the stuff that has landed in the house. Summer always seems to be an influx of fruits and vegetables. Had way, way too many nectarines in the house and have been subjecting co-workers to nectarine raspberry muffins. I have to confess that I think I've found my new favorite muffin recipe in The Sweet Melissa Baking Book. The Sweet Muffin basic recipe is great, lets you add any fruit that you want and has all the right muffin qualities, dense, moist and never tries to be a cupcake masquerading as a muffin. Now I just have to find the time to try the Savory Muffin recipe...I'm thinking some Rouge Creamery Maple Smoked chevre and crisp pancetta.
Also note in the photo, some zucchini-pumpkin bread made by one of my co-workers. It makes me very happy that her zucchini plant is amok and out of control, since we get to reap the rewards.

Unfortunately, I was sitting in my living room when I saw the email that went around, announcing the arrival of the nectarine muffins in the office. I think this entitles me to two portions of the next office offering.
