We forward our clocks ahead this weekend, is Spring really on it's way?
 
Looking out my window and seeing the mounds of snow... I am not convinced and don't let that sun fool you either !
 
March break is just around the corner and for those who are unable to get away to some where Tropical , why not bake something Tropical. 

Here is my favorite Pina Cola Muffin recipe. It's super easy and the combination flavors with pineapple, coconut, sugar and rum.  They always seem to remind me of the Caribbean. 




Preheat the oven 350 F

Dry mix                          Moist Mix
1.5 cups white flour         2 large eggs
1/2 cup white sugar         1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder        3/4 cups of sour cream
1/2 tsp baking soda         1 tsp rum extract (or use rum)
1/2 tsp salt                     1/2 can crushed drained pineapple (8oz)

1/3 to 3/4 cup coconut flakes

In a large mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients.  In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the vegetable oil, sour cream and rum.  Add the drained pineapple and mix well.  Add the dry mixture slowly combining with the moist ingredients.  Mix well and add the coconut flakes.  Fill 12 lined baking cups and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven until golden.
