Better Late Than Never --- Pumpkin Muffins

Alright, I admit it. I am a horrible documenter. I have tried numerous ways to get around it, trust me. I have used the strategy of putting the camera on the dinner table, carrying my camera everywhere I go, asking Max to remind me to take pictures, sitting at well-lit tables, etc. etc. You name it, I've tried it, but no matter what I do, I always manage to forget to take pictures of my food, whether it's at a restaurant or at home. I have to boast, however, that I have improved from my absentmindedness. I have went from completely forgetting to taking my camera with me when I go out, to realizing that I've forgotten to take pictures after couple of days of actually having the meal, to remembering my failure to take pictures immediately after my late bite. My other biggest obstacle besides my poor memory is my impatience. I love fresh warm food, and I hate cold leftover food, so whenever my food is ready to be eaten, I eat it with no second thought. Even when I remember to take pictures, I often don't because I simply can't bare the idea of letting the pipping hot food go cold, or even luke warm. So I admit it, I'm a terrible documenter and a total leftover snob.

At the other end of the spectrum is that I also have the tendency to take pictures and not post them on my blog. "Why?," you ask. Well, there's really not a good excuse. I just get backed up with other things and neglect to keep my blog updated with the most recent pictures. I'm also working on that, so please be patient.

With that said, here is one of my many past pictures that I never posted. Some may argue, "Why even tell us that it's old? No one will know if you just post it!" Well, to be honest, I do do that, but please don't hate on me, it's just pure practicality and timing. Besides, I don't do it often. My main reason for confessing this time is that they are clearly a fall or winter dish. They're Pumpkin Muffins, for goodness' sake! I can't fool anyone into believing that I just made these! Believe me when I say that I did feel a bit guilty posting these pictures, but I figured that I shouldn't sacrifice my readers' eye candy because of my bad timing. So here it is, better late than never!

Fluffy all around and crunchy on top (because of pecans), these Pumpkin Muffins are great for breakfast, or pretty much anytime you're craving sweets

Paired with a hot cup of tea, these muffins make Autumn that much more enjoyable

So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt

I absolutely can't wait to share this with you. It's probably one of the best desserts I've had in awhile (other than Cobblermania's cobblers) --- So Delicious Coconut Milk Yogurt.

I've actually tried this once before, but that was before I had a food blog. I just came back from a long overdue trip to Whole Foods, and I'm having So Delicious' new line of dairy-free and soy-free yogurt made with coconut milk in Passionate Mango flavor. After trying it for the second time, more than a month since the first, I am again pleasantly surprised by the product. The silky texture and subtle sweetness of the coconut milk complements wonderfully with the tanginess of the passion fruit and mango.

If you like coconut, you've got of give this a try. I have not tried the other flavors, but I'm sure they are equally "so delicious." ;)
