Recipe: Nutella-Cheese Muffins

Image
Before we start, let me tell you that the original recipe came from  David Lebovitz's Black-Bottom Cupcakes Oh ya, I really don't know how to differentiate between cupcakes and muffins, so let's call them cupcakes AND muffins, okay? Okay. Now... my Nutella 'supplier' from Singapore (a.k.a. Tc Sharifah Haslina in Adni) - because it's waaay cheaper over there - told me that Nutella cupcakes are reaaally nice!

Pictures of Ikram Fakhri when he was about 2 - 3 years old :  since Ikram could sit on his own, we tried to put Ikram on a horseback several times but didn't succeed.  alhamdulillah he managed to overcome this challenge and he now loves horseback riding! "eskar - eskar" - that's how you pronounce "Askar" with an English accent! aromatherapy candles pun boleeeeh... asal dapat main! exploring creativity Baba Ikram Mama & Baby 'Irfan in the tummy :)

Alhamdulillah, my littlest hero is now 4 months and 3 weeks old. Time flies by really fast! He started to successfully and quickly roll over 2 days before he turned 4 months. Very chubby boy, weighed 8.2 kg at 4 months and 2 weeks! As a mom, I often feel guilty for having to leave him at home with the maid more than the hours I actually spent with him (excluding sleeping time). I really hope it's not just the hours that counts, but QUALITY TIME. May Allah bless our family. Oh yes, we'll reach 5 years of marriage in a couple of weeks inshaAllah. Subhanallah walhamdulillah walllahuakbar! pictures of 'Irfan from 0 - 2 months old :
