Menu Monday - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Corn Muffins
Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Corn Muffins

2 boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk plus 2 tbsp
3 tbsp local pure honey
1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup chocolate chips plus some extra for topping off batter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 


Line muffin pans with cupcake liners. Spray cupcake liners with non-stick spray. (This actually helps remove the liners without taking the muffin off with the paper.) 

Blend all ingredients except the chocolate chips. Batter will be lumpy but do not over-stir. Let batter stand for about 4 minutes, then restir before adding the chocolate chips. There are a couple of ways you can do the chocolate chips. Don't do the way I did for my first batch. My chips sank to the bottom and stayed there during cooking time. Some friends suggested using either mini chips, adding them to the muffin cups after putting the batter in the cups, or dusting the chocolate chips with flour prior to folding them into the batter. Pick whichever method suits you. In the future I will use mini chips.


Place in preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check with a toothpick or knife, muffins are ready when they come out clean. Allow to cool until cooled off enough to handle. Serve slightly warm with a pat of margarine.

Menu Monday-Nonstop Salsa


I nicknamed this "nonstop salsa" because when I make it, I eat it nonstop until it's gone! Not such a bad thing, because it is eating clean veggies.  There is a bit of fat from the avocado, but it's not bad; it's the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) kind of fat that's good for reducing belly fat.

2 c tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 tsp paprika
1 avocado, diced
sprinkle of sea salt or kosher salt (sea salt is preferable)
