It’s Thursday!  I have a special treat for you today.  I have been receiving a lot of positive feedback on my new Open Sky store over the last few weeks and I am really loving what the folks at Open Sky are doing for online shopping.  The idea of taking expert shopkeepers with their views and experiences on products and sharing that information to the readers/consumers is invaluable.

When I started zestycook.com back in August 2008 I had two goals in mind.  They were and still are to add value to all my readers and the general public and to have fun doing it.  I definitely know I am doing the latter and I strive to add value to each post that I write.

I’ve wanted to do a feature product for the last little while and today is the day.

Back to Basics Egg-and-Muffin Toaster is a great product that will make you super happy in the morning.

Some of the features of this product include:

• Makes the ultimate breakfast sandwich in 4 minutes.
• Hard boils up to 8 eggs at a time.
• Wide slot toasting function for bagels and croissants.
• Individual toasting or poaching function.
• Auto shutoff for both toaster and egg poacher.

So there you have it.  A fun little product that I wanted to share with you.  If you happen to have a favorite kitchen product and think that it would be great in the store… by all means tell me in the comments or email.  I am always looking for great products that make your time in the kitchen more fun and enjoyable.  Have an awesome Thursday and I will talk to you on Friday.

Oh wait, before I go  – make sure you enter the giveaway contest.

Take care

Can you really believe at how fast this week is flying by.  It will be Jamaican time before I know it.  Well I don’t want to bore you with all the Jamaica details but I am getting excited.  It feels like such a rush to get everything done and not forget any chores or tasks.

I have been having a craving for some chocolate treats as of late and I have some really fun recipes to share with you that involve chocolate and caramels.  Today’s recipe is a simple muffin gone chunky.

Now I have made coffee cake muffins and apple granola muffins in the past neither with chocolate in them so I thought I would live on the edge and share these with you.

Talk about a treat for your mouth!  These are not the healthiest muffin to eat but now come on….. nothing a dozen would ever hurt.
