So my new habit is that I get my CSA on Tuesday, do the rest of my shopping on Wednesday and Thursday I wake up and spend a few hours cooking before I go to work. It makes my kitchen really steamy before work, but it's nice enough now that I can open the windows.

Have I mentioned how dreadfully nice it is in Seattle right now? It's ridiculous. Of course, every day it's been nice I have to go to work and yesterday (my day off) it was rainy as hell. No fun there....

In other news, I have gotten lots of wonderful things in my CSA. This week I give you: Morning Glory Muffins with Grapefruit Curd. Morning Glory muffins are basically lots of veggies and fruits stuffed into whole wheat flour. Grapefruit Curd just sounded so easy to make I couldn't resist. 

Morning Glory Muffins

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 1 medium tart apple, peeled and grated
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
• 1/3 pecans; coarsely chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and kosher salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.

3. In another bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, vegetable oil and vanilla. Stir in carrots, zucchini, apple, pineapple, coconut and pecans.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined, but do not overmix.

5. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

NOTES:

- I didn't use the fruits or nuts mentioned. What I had on hand was nibs (we all know how I love nibs) and dried blueberries that I have from work. So good!
