Thank you Luaryn of Bella Baker for choosing this weeks recipe. Please check out here for the recipe.
I made these last night for a special guest we had over.
I followed the recipe exactly except instead of currants I added blueberries to some, chocolate chips to some and left a few plain.
Our special guest was my nieces boyfriend Zack. He has been serving in the Army over in Iraq. He will go back to Iraq in one week. It was so nice to meet him!
I asked them what they thought of the muffins and my niece said they are good,they taste like orange. Her boyfriend, Zack said..Let's put it this way, I could eat the entire plate!
We had a great night playing Apples to Apples and getting to know this nice young man!
Oh.. and Thank you Zack for serving our country!

Everyone always thinks I'm going to ramp up TWD recipe with chocolate somehow, but I'm starting to think it's you. I knew you try cc's in these. ;)
I didn't this time, and actually meant to with just a few and forgot. I used pecans instead of currants.
thats awesome! Those blueberry muffins look great!
Your muffins look delicious! Chocolate chips are always a good addition. PS: I'm obsessed with Apples to Apples -- best game ever!
I think I would have loved chocolate or blueberries in mine too. I used craisens which were just okay, didn't add that much. Hope you are having a good week. Glad you company loved the muffins! that is always the best compliment.
Love your heart liners! Glad that Zach is home safe and that you guys had a fun night together - is he going back over?
Sounds like a fun evening!
Tell Zach thanks! So many fun additions, I think I would love them with chocolate. Kind of like the chocolate oranges you get at Christmas.
the blueberry ones look like little explosions of goodness!

Looks yummy! Our dentist loves chocolate chip muffins. Saw the Apples to Apples game - our family loves it! Always lots of laughter and fun.
We played Apples to Apples too! Cool substitution with the blueberries...
So nice that you could make them for such a nice couple! Yours look great!
These look great - especially the blueberry ones! Apples to Apples is the best game! :)
I love your variety. We used a mix of dried fruit from Trader Joe's. Yum!
Blueberries and chocolate are fantastic ideas! Orange and chocolate, and then a citrus blueberry muffin - I'm going to have to try both.
It's so nice that you got to spend time with your niece and Zach - it sounds like a great night!
I'm glad your muffins were a hit with your company!
