Grand Marnier orange muffin with chocolate chips and cranberries

I've been extremely busy these few days!

And i think i will be even busier for the next 2-3 weeks :P

But. It is happy busy. Busy clothes shopping actually.

Not for me of course but for the boys. However, in between.. i do sneak in a couple of minutes for myself to look see look see whenever possible. Grin.

Anyway, last week i baked some muffins for a gathering with the gfs.

You know, i think to date.. i feel muffins are the hardest thing to bake. You must never over mixed them or else, they'd be as hard as rock.

Fortunately, i remember the no.1 rule very well and although the muffins weren't as yummy as i had anticipated.. they weren't hard, unlike my 1st experience quite some time ago.



The lighting was really bad when i took these pictures so you can't really tell what's in them. Basically, as mentioned in the tittle.. it has got chocolates and Grand Marnier soaked dried cranberries in them.

For myself, i find them okay, not too bad. Not to say super yummy nor yucky at all. Somehow, i actually feel they were pretty healthy in fact!



Initially i was so worried about the muffins' appearance [they weren't pretty at all!] that i almost refused to bring them for the gathering.

Because i didn't have much time left for another baking session, i had no choice but to pack them along.

But guess what?

The girl friends liked it!

Either that or they were being very very nice to me. Ha! :P
