Info Post
Are you all enjoying Summer? I am!!

Our family is busy getting ready for a big wedding this weekend. The happy couple has requested a brunch be held here on the farm the day after the wedding, so the boys and I have been testing all kinds of yummy brunch recipes! I've volunteered to do some egg casseroles and quiches, a basket of assorted muffins, a fruit tray, and a bloody mary bar (my fav!)

From all our taste testing, I've found some DELICIOUS muffin recipes that I cannot wait to share with you! So for the next couple weeks I'll be doing

MUFFIN MONDAYS!

That made me laugh hysterically just typing that... In any event, you can look forward to some amazing muffin creations here on Mondays. If you have any favorite muffin recipes of your own, I'd love for you to share them! 

Here's the first one I took for a test drive:

Lemon-Raspberry Muffins

Here's what you'll need:

Fill 18 muffin cups 2/3 of the way full. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this.

And if you only have 1 muffin pan and are super impatient like I am, do mini muffins too!

Delish! The muffins have a wonderful tart flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. And the bright pink pop of color from the raspberries just screams "Summertime"!
