Chocolate chip WHAT?

Ok, so this morning's soapbox is about chocolate chip muffins. Totally my opinion. You may agree or disagree, your choice!

Who the heck eats these things? I mean, seriously, do chocolate chips really belong in breakfast foods? Not in my opinion. You go into your local bakery or in my case the dining center downstairs in my building to get something for breakfast that is not soaked in fat and sugar. Don't necessarily feel like a bagel since there are only two flavors. Toast is unappealing as well. So I look over at the muffin selection. Hmmm, my interest is peaked. Warm baked goods always peak my interest. After a few moments deliberation, I select a very nice looking blueberry muffin. Don't ask me why I didn't just grab the closest one but it's kind of like picking a chip from the tortilla chip basket at the Mexcian restaurant...you have to have THAT ONE.

Anyway, I grabbed my muffin, some Promise spread, and a banana. I'm ready to make my way back to my desk for my well deserved breakfast treat. After slowly making my way to my desk (the fashionable "boot" makes a pace faster than a snail almost impossible), I slowly peel off the paper cup to discover....

.....my blueberry muffin is not blueberry at all!

It's chocolate chip! WHAT THE HECK?

A feeling of disgust overwhelmed me and I sat starting at my muffin for a moment. Truly deciding if I was going to attempt to eat it or just chuck it at the next person who walks by...this made me smile. Alas, I like my co-workers so decided against pelting anyone with a chocolate chip muffin. Besides, my tummy was growling. Deciding it was better than nothing, I broke off a piece and took a bite.

GAG!

Seriously, chocolate chips do not belong in a muffin. They are nasty in breakfast foods.

Butter did not help.

After managing to choke down about 2 bites of the muffin, I decided it was a lost cause and circular filed it.

The banana was great and thankfully, I have a couple packets of oatmeal if I decide I have to eat something else.

I will finish by saying this...chocolate chips do not belong in breakfast foods. They belong in cookies and other baked DESSERTS or SNACKS!

I'm climbing off the soapbox now. Have a great day.
