I’m so excited to be posting my very first post. The writer in me wants to give you some great paragraph full of witty, creative sentences that inspire you to go out and create deliciousness. But I’m so excited about my first post and my first step to someday owning my own baking business that I’m going to just dive on in and give you this amazing recipe for my Bango Muffins (plus I figure you can go read my About page if you are looking for some deep, spiritual pining about food and baking) 
I got brave and created these after baking a few muffins following different recipes and looking over a few different recipes in my cookbooks and online. This is what I have created with their guidance and some of my own originality.

I got to share these with some pretty cool people today. But the coolest person of all (who I thought might just like these with me) was my dad who was celebrating his 71st birthday today.
Happy Birthday Dad!!!
