Red Velvet is all the range come February. It always amazes me what people can come up with to do with red velvet. I am originally from the Mid-West, so red velvet was not something we ever had growing up. I have really only learned about it in the last few years. Doesn’t matter what part of the country you are in, these pancakes would make a great breakfast for tomorrow. Just a little something special for your kids before they head off to school!

So today is the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness week. I hope you enjoyed all the pink and cancer fighting food. I really hope that you were inspired to do a self exam or get a mammogram, and take action to take care of yourself! Breast Cancer can affect anyone; young, old, man, woman, healthy, unhealthy etc. Please be proactive, and help the stop of this horrible disease.
To end the week I made something sinful and pink. I had to laugh on Monday when That Skinny Chick Can Bake make these cookies. I guess great minds think alike. Considering we used the same recipe, I am just going to send you to Liz to grab the recipe. I tried to adjust the color to make them more pink that red, but that is really hard when you are starting with brown. But they taste good, are soft, and have just a hint of chocolate, so I am not too sure the color really matters.
To end the week I would like to say Thank You to everyone who joined me this week. I know I asked all of you pretty last minute, so thanks for stepping up and helping me pull this off!
We also have a fun giveaway for you!

Can you believe that of all the red velvet treats out there, I could not find a recipe for Red Velvet Muffins! I figured if anyone was going to post a recipe for it, it may as well be me, the self proclaimed Queen of the Muffin! The only problem here is, I do not have any real experience with red velvet cake. I have had it a handful of times, but all in the north, so I do not know if it is authentic. So I am making no claims that these are true red velvet. They are red, moist, and have a hint of cocoa. These would make a fun breakfast treat for Valentine’s Day. Although, I personally would eat these any day of the year 
Don’t mind the pictures, I went against all of my instincts, and did not adjust fully for the altitude. From my experience everything tastes the same when you don’t adjust, it just doesn’t look pretty. So these sunk in the middle, very disappointing. I loved these muffins though, and I will be making them again soon (with the proper adjustments). The stash is already gone from the freezer, that is how good these were. I used a white/semi sweet swirl chocolate chip, because that is what I had on hand. But either white or semi sweet would be wonderful in here.
