One Thing Leads To Another

It all started with a container of ricotta cheese that I realized was about to expire, then I was browsing food blogs and happened on to this recipe, and then blackberries were on sale.   Next thing you know, we had delicious muffins for breakfast!

The muffin has lemon zest and some lemon juice in it which gives a nice, light lemon flavor.  The ricotta cheese adds to the moistness, and the blackberries inside are almost like a jelly filling - in a good way.  I am very pleased with this one!

The rest of the ricotta cheese was added to tomato basil pasta sauce and was a nice change for pasta night.  Recently I have become diligent about not wasting food, and it has led to some flavorful creations.
