Your very welcome!!!! HA-HA! You're very funny! I am glad of your response! I wish I had the time to make muffins when I was in school!! But, at least you are eating...that's always good!!! Okay, let's say a muffin recipe calls for 2cups of flour, I do, one of two things, first; I start with 1cup flour and then I'll add 1cup (uncooked) oatmeal or wheat flour, for texture, flavor, and nutrition. When using/adding wheat germ to any bake goods (breads, muffins, cookies, cakes too.) 2tablespoons (heaping) is good enough. The jar it comes in has some advice on it.. As for goodies, it depends on the muffin, sometimes I put craisins, nuts (anykind), chocolate chips....that kind of stuff, which usuaslly amounts to 1/3cup or 1/2cup. Anyway, I'll send you that blueberry recipe through your hotmail. My email to you will from my aol account, that way you can print it out by itself, okay! Good luck in school, Enjoy, and Cheers!!!! Laters! Hey, I LOVE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!

Glad people are finally realizing it!!! YES!! Dunkin is good, Mcdonald's too. Depends on which one you go to and the time of day. I am latina and grew up on strong coffee. Bustello or Pico. But today I do coffee differently. Ever since I bought my Keurig coffee machine,my life has chnaged. dramatic i know, but true. Terri Hatcher owns two of these babies. One in her bedroom and kitchen! Makes a fresh cup everytime and you will taste the difference. I love this machine so much my husband says I should be their salesperson. Starbucks coffee does suck!!

Celebrities aside, $5 for a muffin that tastes bland? Ick. Homemade muffins are much more delicious and satisfying (and at least you know what ingredients you are putting into them). There are plenty of ways to make homemade muffins healthy too: use flaxseed flour, real fruit, sugar and spices. I tend to stay away from fake sugar. I use sugar in the "raw" -- its from Hawaii and isn't bleached. For the Starbucks people: I don't drink coffee, but many people in my life prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee over Starbucks anyday (and it's a lot cheaper, too)! P.S. These celebrities have one muffin for breakfast? How can that be filling? I have a bowl of Autumn Wheat for breakfast along with fresh fruit, OJ and a multi-vitamin. Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day so I make time in the morning to sit down and actually eat breakfast! More people should do the same! We'd have happier workplaces! hehe This is absolutely RIDICULOUS! Celebrities aside, $5 for a muffin that tastes bland? Ick.

I make my own muffins, I always change the recipe to my liking. I put in wheat germ, wheat flour and all kinds of goodies! William-Sonoma has a good muffins cookbook...I recommend that for starters...the book was only $16.95. But, the best breakfast is a fruit smoothie!!! My favorite is with bananas, peaches, yogart, juice, garnola, and wheat germ! YUMMY! Enjoy and Cheers! Hey, I LOVE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS,

These celebrities have chosen a different path in life & have become successful in doing so. Any one of us could have chosen a Hollywood path & earned a nice salary if we worked hard at it. I’m sure if we had the money they did, we would in fact be buying $5 muffins. I agree w/whoever made the Starbucks comment; how many of us pay $3-5 for Starbucks? I know I do! And I love it! So don't knock the celebs for enjoying something w/their hard earned money. We all would do it to if we had $5/per muffin. Hey we seem to have $5/per coffee...

I already knew that these celebs lost their hosh posh, high and mighty minds along time ago, but wow, this is crazy. $5 a muffin??? I'll stick to going down to the corner store and buy myself a banana muffin for $1 and they are huge muffins. In fact, I'll make my own muffins for the fraction of the cost that they spend on their hosh posh muffins. I'll make it better, I'll go to my grocery store, purchase 4 muffins for $2.59 a pack. Why is it so necessary for people to follow in the foot steps of celebs or to think that REAL people wanna be just like this fake celebs? Not me. For anyone who wants to spend $20 and wants to be healthy, go to your gym and purchase a membership. Save your money. You're just gonna poo your $5 muffin out anyways (not to sound gross).

I used to use it since they said that it was actually made from sugar, but here is an interesting little piece of fact that i found out about a month ago. Splenda is not natural, rather it's a chlorinated artificial sweetener. The sweetness of Splenda derives from a chlorocarbon chemical that contains three atoms of chlorine in every one of its molecules. To worsen matters there have been no long term human consumption test done on this product, so they really have no idea what is the long term effect on our health, nonetheless they allow us to consume it at our own risk. Since then i have stopped using this product. Quote "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed possible side-effects from consuming Splenda, including enlarged liver and kidneys, decreased white blood cell count, reduced growth rate and decreased fetal body weight." For more info see <a href="http://www.truthaboutsplenda.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.truthaboutsplenda.com</a> I hope this piece of info enlighten those in the dark like i was!
