Blueberry Nut Oat Bran Muffins
These are great - especially since they are so healthy! I subbed 1 TB of flaxseed and 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce for the oil and topped them all off with streusel (1/2 C brown sugar, 1/2 C oats, 2 tsp butter, little cinnamon). I didn't have any bran so I soaked a little All Bran cereal in skim milk and mixed it in with the wet ingredients instead of the dry. My only issue was removing the muffins from the pan. I only used 1 cup of blueberries but they must have sunk while baking and ended up making the bottoms of the muffins too moist to remove from the pan. That said, they tasted great!

Tres Leches (Milk Cake)
I made this cake to finish off a special Latin-themed dinner for my husband last night. Since it was just the two of us, I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8x8 pan. After making the batter, I wasn't sure how the cake would turn out because it was a little on the thick side. After baking, though, it turned out very light and airy. I used skim milk instead of whole and it still turned out perfect. My husband (whose parents are from South America) absolutely loved it topped with a few strawberries. Will definitely make again!

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi
This is a fast and easy recipe for fish. I added in some extra ginger and garlic to make it more spicy. My husband and I both really enjoyed the mahi served with brown rice and broccoli sauteed with garlic and soy sauce. Thanks for the recipe!
