Pumpkin Raisin Muffins
This afternoon, my son and I made Pumpkin Raisin Muffins, a recipe I modified from Cooking.com, formerly called Pumpkin Spice Muffins. The most exciting part of our cooking adventure was this: I reduced the amount of sugar this recipe suggested by 47 teaspoons (1 cup down to 1 teaspoon) and they still tasted delicious! The lesson? Great tasting... [ Read more → ]

But today I would be remiss if... [ Read more → ]
