February 15, 2018 at 9:50 amI make a variety of muffins – from oatmeal- chocolate chip to pizza muffins and grab one when I am on the go. I started making them when my children were doing week on and week off between me and their father – sometimes they’d get here hungry but not enough time to eat a good breaky. Now we have a selection we randomly choose from; bacon and egg muffins to zuchini-chocolate chip everyone is happy.
