Photo White Chocolate Berry Muffins by salihan
I would jump out of bed in the morning if I knew that these were waiting for me!
They look so moist, and I can see the berries and the white chocolate chips--oh so good!

Photo Chocolate Cake Batter Waffles by Jocelyn | McAuliflower
I LOVE waffles, but it is true that it's not that easy to get the batter right.
Last time I was at my sister's house we used a waffle batter mix, and it turned out icky and flavorless--not what we were going for!
So when I saw this ingenius devil's food cake batter waffle idea, I was jumping up and down for joy!
The whipped cream and strawberries on top MAKE this dish, don't they?

Photo Chocolate Eclairs with Earl Grey Cream by Polkaroo
My hat is off to Isabelle, who took on the challenge of making eclairs from scratch!
I would never be brave enough to do that--one time in 9th grade I tried to make petit fours from scratch and the experience has scarred me for life!
But this photo just goes to show that is is possible to make homemade eclairs.
And these are not just any eclairs--the filling is an Earl Grey Cream, which sounds so fancy!
I can't even imagine what that would taste like, since I'm not much of a tea drinker, but it sounds tempting!

Photo vegan pumpkin chocolate brownies! by msconnections
As you can see, I'm on a pumpkin kick with all these delish choco-pumpkin concoctions.
It is almost Halloween, people!
The air is a little cooler, so it sort of feels like the beginning of Fall--we must make pumpkin-y stuff now!
And for some reason I think that anything with pumpkin in it is perfect for breakfast--it's a fruit, is it not?

If you knew that this "cupcake" (which to me looks like a muffin) was waiting for you at the breakfast table, wouldn't you hop out of bed with a smile on your face?
This is the sort of stuff we need to see at breakfast--a muffin is really just a cupcake without frosting isn't it?
Why not eat cupcakes for breakfast!???

Profiteroles originally uploaded by fruitcakey
Oh, I have a soft spot for French pastries, and these look divine!
I remember in high school French class we had to make stuff like this and bring it in for everyone in the class to taste--those were the most memorable and fun school days of my life!
I cannot claim that my high school profiteroles turned out even half as scrumptious looking as these in the photo taken by Lisa, but seeing her success with this recipe makes me want to try it too!

I think that this photo needs to be made into one of those motivational posters.
Seriously, when you look at it, doesn't it just perk you up like a ray of sunshine?
Such cute muffins, adorably studded with chocolate chips and raspberries.
This is what my motivational poster would say:
Ahh, and the cares of the world wash away...[happy sigh]

dark chocolate chip pancakes, originally uploaded by blue socks
So Beautiful!
These would be great for Sunday brunch or Saturday morning, or any other day of the week that you happen to have time to make pancakes.
Or dinner. (Why not?)
You can't really see the Raspberries in the photo above, but take a gander at this:
dark chocolate chip & raspberry pancakes
To be honest, whenever I make pancakes I just use a Bisquick mix (it's a ready-made pancake and baking mix that you just add eggs and water and oil to).
I have noticed that the trick to adding in "extras" like chocolate chips and such is NOT to stir them into the batter. Been there, done that and it doesn't turn out as well as pouring the pancakes on to the griddle or pan, then immediately placing the chocolate chips or whatever you want to add on to the pancake that has not set up yet.
Yes, this means that one side will look all pretty like those from the masterful cook/photographer who shot these, and that the other side will look like a normal pancake.
However, it also means that the chips are evenly distributed, and one pancake doesn't have a ton of chips while the last pancake gets like only 2 chips in it.
If you wanna make the pancakes from scratch, here's a great video. This is for chocolate chip pancakes, but of course feel free to add the delectable raspberries too!
Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Originally Uploaded by jessicafm
Oh, you cannot go wrong with a banana chocolate chip muffin, can you?
And to top it off--these are Vegan!
It astounds me that such a glorious muffin can be made without any eggs (and no dairy either) in there, but behold--these are nice and puffy, just like a muffin should be!
