In my most recent batch of these muffins, I added shredded coconut to half of them. The ones with coconut were everyone’s favorites. They remind me of macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup and leave me daydreaming of Hawaii.

The tortilla española is similar to a frittata and nothing like the tortillas used in Mexican food. Tortillas de patatas, filled with thinly sliced potatoes, are one of the most popular kinds of tortilla that you will find but you can also add the veggies and meats of your choice.

Sweet potato fries are a yummy alternative to standard French fries. I like using a combination of sweet potatoes and yams to get a nice mix of colors.

Pumpkin seeds are a perfect healthy snack. They are also great for baking. It’s simple and easy to roast your own and then you can control the amount of sodium in them! So next time you are carving Jack-o-lanterns or have pumpkin or squash around the house, don’t throw out the seeds!

It has been a summer tradition since I was a child to make these muffins with freshly-picked blackberries. Now I continue the tradition with my boys after we pick the berries on “blackberry hill.”
