oh, wonderful! I am taking prerequisites, but my only study time is after 10pm. I have been making .... dare I tell you .... chocolate cakes in mugs every night. I needed this post.

Congratulations! I had no idea what I would need before having my first, and I have to say that muffins of all kinds were the absolute best. I made and froze dozens, and then microwaved them 20 seconds from frozen. Now that my second is due in late July, I'm already thinking about that. I also have recently been introduced to chocolate-covered frozen banana and kiwi, which I'll make when it gets closer to time.
My favorite muffins recipes all come from the same source (if she tracks the clicks to her blog, she probably thinks I am stalking her) - Enlightened Cooking. You can search her site for Superfood Zucchini Pecan muffins (I prefer more spice than what she calls for here, but that's just personal preference), Bowl of Oatmeal muffins (I like to do batches of these with different dried fruits for variety), and Vanilla Raspberry Vegan muffins (I also do these with different berries, and don't always make them vegan).

I made a lot of quiches, as well, of which I grew tired awfully fast. And I found that if anybody brought a dish over, it usually had pasta, so I was glad I didn't make a lot of pasta.

This was a hit when I made it for friends at our winter cabin! Thanks!

Thanks everyone! These are great. I'm going to be stocking my freezer as well as hers!

Huge False on the cucumber thing. Or at least a not always. Now I have cucumber stuck to my countertops and stove, but no worries because the ants are feasting on them.
