Early round up! (Couldn't wait to blog about this!)

The response of the first ever Muffin Monday was fabulous and I am
overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiastic participation. I was
initially uncertain if anyone would be interested and was really
hoping to have at least 5 people participating. It became really
exciting when more and more people filled in my inbox with their
great recipes.
How Muffin Monday came about and became a food blog event?
Muffin Monday was something I created at work some months
ago - every Monday I would bring in muffins I've baked to treat my
colleagues (who I've since spoiled). And quite honestly, I was
running out of ideas. At the same time I was having quite a lot of
fun participating in other food blog events that other food
bloggers have hosted. So I thought - why not make Muffin Monday a
food blog event and have other food bloggers make their colleagues
and friends very happy people on a Monday morning! Share the love!
And then I'll have so many recipes to choose from every week for
weeks to come!
It was fantastic to see how everyone got creative in the kitchen,
transforming a simple basic recipe into something scrumptious and
delightful! Bananas, coconut, chocolate and pineapple were the more
popular ingredients used (you really can't go wrong with them).
While there are some a little more adventurous bakers who went with
more unusual ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, mars bars and
zucchini.
I've had a blast hosting this event, it brought me to wonderful
food blogs I've never known and it was fun reading everyone's
entries - also it was great knowing people had fun baking their
muffins! I'm so glad how well it all turned out because I now have
so many more food blogging friends from around the world!
So what's next?! When is MM02 going to happen? Who wants to host
the next Muffin Monday MM02? How does this work? I don't know!
Leave your comments and I guess we'll find out!
