When I was little, my mom used to bake the most delicious bran & date muffins. I still remember helping her make them in the kitchen and eating them as soon as they came out the oven.
Nostalgia at its best.
So, when I went home for Christmas, one of the first things I did was ask if I could have the recipe.
I actually took her recipe book home - I love the brown pages, stained with cocoa and mixture. I love a used cookbook - its full of home.
