This cookbook was a passion project of mine. During quarantine, I began making muffins on Sunday mornings, and it became a weekly tradition in my household. I created this cookbook using Adobe InDesign and with photographs of the muffins I have made.
While cleaning the kitchen one Sunday morning, I picked up a bunch of overly ripe bananas to wipe the counter underneath. Upon lifting the bunch, all of the stems snapped. Welp, it looks like I’m going to be making banana nut muffins, I muttered to myself.
And from there, a tradition was born. Every Sunday, a new type of muffin. This tradition, for me, is a time of peace, solitude, reflection, and routine amidst the chaos of my busy week. Every Sunday, I quietly measure and stir ingredients in my small, sleepy home, as my roommates slowly awake to the comforting aroma of muffins as they bake.
I hope that you, too, can find these small moments of peace and solitude, and perhaps baking muffins will provide the same comfort and satisfaction for you as it does for me.
