Mustard Seed Meet up & Vegan Pineapple Coconut Muffins

Owww Monday! Today was a BUSY day for sure! I started my day off with a quick run and then taught Body Pump. I rushed home to shower and went into work. We had a new employee starting today and I had to get her settled. After work, I stopped quickly at home to let Frank out, ran some errands and then headed to Mustard Seed for our blogger meet up.

The meet up included Amelia (who doesn’t have a blog yet, but totally should ;), Myself, Christina from Hungry Meets Healthy, Blair from Reasonably Swanky and Lindsay from Pancakes and Pajamas:

I have been to Mustard Seed once before and LOVED it. Last time, I got the vegetable stir fry. Tonight, my tummy wasn’t feeling 100% so I went with something a little lighter, a Greek salad & some of their awesome bread(excuse the under and over exposed pictures):

Blair also wanted me to feature her beautiful Pecan Encrusted Chicken:

Sal, the owner of all the Dine with Sal restaurants, was even at the restaurant! He got a picture with one of his biggest fans, Christina!!

Not only that, he even sent us a couple of free, DELICIOUS desserts:

Such a great restaurant, can’t wait to go back!

All of the girls were so wonderful! I brought each of them a little treat, Vegan Pineapple Coconut Muffins. I used this recipe, but used 3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon flax (instead of an egg), pineapple juice (instead of milk), and Earth Balance. I also did not place almonds on top (as I didn’t know if anyone had any nut allergies).  Josh taste tested one for me last night and gave them a big thumbs up!

Do you have a favorite muffin? Where is it from or is it homemade?
