I love spring! The rhubarb in my garden is ready to be harvested and strawberries are in season, so it is time to make one of our favorite muffins.
In our house muffins are not just a breakfast food, they are my kid’s favorite snack. All of my kids even enjoy muffins for dessert. Yes, I know they are weird, but you won’t hear me complain! And as a mom, I love how easy it is to modify muffins to make them a bit more nutritious.
