Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Muffins

This came across my social media so I decided to make them.  I watch Molly's show on food t.v. and I really like her, makes me smile.  She certainly knows her baking.  Lots of ingredients but all pretty healthy.  What I used:

Seafood Chorizo Stew

This was made with the idea of clean up and get out ingredients that needed to go.  Soup or Stew?  You choose.  I doubt I'll ever make it again, but thought I'd write it up, because I'm "covid" bored.  It was a lousy rainy day and soup seemed good.  What I used for it sounded weird even to myself.  A while back I ordered this poke kit.  It turned out, I don't love Albacore tuna for poke, I prefer Ahi.  As I have 2 bags of it left, I tried to figure out what to do with it.  I made some ceviche and it was okay...

Easter Impossible Pie: Dark Chocolate with a Coconut Twist

My neighbor friend sent me this recipe and a picture of how hers turned out suggesting I give it a try.  This seemed right in my son's wheelhouse, so I made it for Easter dessert this year.  Since I like her pie dish so much, I'll show hers, and I'm always so happy when friends send me their food pics.
