Who's up for a chocolate muffin on this beautiful sunny day! Today is my day off and I am totally ready for it. I got some kitchen time planned, later we are going for a drink and swim at a friend's resort and after that, we are invited to the opening of another friend's Spanish restaurant followed by some ice cream tasting.

Already downed a green morning drink to get me started and I have some chocolate muffins left I made the other day!

Perfect start of the day. What are you guys up to? As said earlier... this is where you will find me after lunch......

I cannot resist anything with bananas and chocolate. The avocado mousse is the perfect creamy topping. I don't think I have seen such a deep pink dragon fruit. Your presentation is top notch @amy-goodrich. What a terrific way to enjoy your day off.

Thanks my dear for your lovely comment. I just love those local dragon fruits. So beautiful. Have a lovely Sunday!
