Who doesn’t love a Muffin Monday? Save yourself the expense – both monetarily and calorically – by avoiding the glass cases and bake your own reasonably nutritious and tasty muffs. I promise you this ain’t no GOOP shit. We’re just jshooshing up a box recipe for real. I like the Krusteaz Fat Free Wild Blueberry mix because you don’t need to add anything but water. In a pinch, this mix is super easy and crowd-pleasing without further embellishment. But if you want your muffins to be more, and I know you do, consider these simple additions.
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are one of those annoyingly ubiquitous health food items that everyone with a mason jar must have to perfect their temple. And yeah, we are talking about the same stuff from the sprouting Chia Pet commercials, “Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia.” Rich in Omega-3, manganese, calcium, and phosphorus these seeds will also add some fiber to your muffins without fucking up the texture. 
Multiply and Diversify the Berries
The puny limp-dick berries in that little sad tin scream box mix. Add some fresh blubes, blackberries, or any kind of berry you like hunny. More berries = a more magnificent Muffin Monday. 
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
For some muffy glamour, create a sparkly crunchy top. Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle on top of your muffins before baking. I can’t defend the sugar, but we all know cinnamon has a number of valuable anti-cancer and blood-sugar stabilizing properties. This step adds an interesting textural difference that makes for memorable Monday Muffins. 
I know a little dove who swears by Traditional Medicinals Eater’s Digest to tame his tummy troubles. I asked him what he liked about the aperitif and he compared imbibing Eater’s Digest to savasana for your intestinal tract. These days a walk down the tea aisle feels like a visit to the pharmacy with all the ailments the brews promise to cure, but in this instance the tea lives up to its claims. Eater’s Digest, for when you heart someone who farts.

I confess I hate Las Vegas. It is not the town for the pragmatic or the vegetarian, so there are two strikes against me right there. However, after recently seeking out Veggie House, I now have a reason to look forward to refueling in the (cultural) desert.
In the ancient tradition of vegetarian Chinese cooking, Veggie House serves some of the best mock meat for miles. Veggie House offers an extensive menu of cruelty-free seafood, beef, and chicken. Enjoy the crispy “beef” and save the sweetfaced cow. 
Veggie House is truly a vegetarian oasis in one of the world’s most unrelentingly carnivorous cities. Located in Chinatown, it will also get your uncultured ass off that gawd awful soul-less strip.

I’m not the biggest fan of bottled hot sauces because the heat tends to get overpowered by the vinegar. Not with El Yucateco Salsa Picante de Chile Habanero, this electric green goodness delights with rich, intense, balanced flavor. With a 9,000 Scoville sting, El Yucateco green ain’t for bland bitches, but if you like your food to punish you a little like I do, then track this alarmingly florescent condiment down in the “ethnic” (mild grocery store racism?) foods aisle. El Yucateco comes in a few different flavors of varying intensity, but I can only personally vouch for the fiery wonder of the atomic green.

Cumin imbues deeply warm flavor to beans and soup. 
Auspicious Turmeric possesses major health benefits and is currently the subject of a number of studies. Sprinkle the yellow spice on almost anything for pleasing color and miraculous anti-inflammatory properties.
Paprika spikes dishes with antioxidants and color. Try it on homemade mac-n-cheese to create a mysterious smokiness.

Pair Black Pepper with all the aforementioned spices. It dramatically increases the bio-availability and absorption of other nutrients and minerals like selenium, vitamin B, beta-carotene and curcumin and also amplifies serotonin and beta-endorphin production in the brain.
