Muffin Man





Muffins are my son's favorite foods. Even when he's sick, he will nibble at a muffin! For some reason he calls a muffin a "ball" but we just go with it!

Since someone asked for the carrot muffin recipe I mentioned in my last post, here it is! It is from Taste of Home, which is a fantastic cooking magazine if you're looking for one. I left out the nuts to make them not-yet two years old-friendly!
