Bran-Craisin Muffins
As far as bran loaded muffins go, these are pretty good, especially the next day. Like a Fruity Banana Bread, the muffins become softer, more moist, the longer they sit out on the counter in a storage container. I'm trying to mix up my breakfast regimen and try new-old classics.

After making an AWESOME loaf of Sweet Beer Bread, I had to experiment just a little. I wanted a sweet and spicy cornbread to go my No Heartburn Chili, so I smashed two ideas together.

I liked it! but my family didn't get excited about it. ... More...

It was SO MUCH FUN meeting the kids, listening to them spout their nutrition education, while proudly standing behind their prepared dishes. Those... More...

Forgive me readers, it's been 3 months since the last time I made pita bread. I've been struggling with the issues of Simple & Fast recipes vs. Simple & Slow. Not every good meal can be made in 1 hour or less. Some things takes time. Some foods are just WAY better made from scratch and they just happen to take a while to become awesome. This is my reasoning behind making homemade... More...
