company muffins

     In changing my major to Special Education, I've brought on a huge workload that requires me being on campus from 7:30 to 4:00 most days. Also, planning a wedding for the summer doesn't help in my need for "me time," but this afternoon, I sat aside some time to make company muffins, a recipe from Simply in Season, my very favorite cookbook.

     These muffins are perfect for morning when you must grab something & go. Also, this recipe includes ingredients that are in season, naturally sweet, & are healthy.

I hope you make & enjoy!
