52 Weeks of Fresh Breakfast Ideas – Week 12- Fresh Raspberry Muffins

I’m taking the bull by the horns so to speak. I haven’t been getting along with breakfast for some time and I aim to rework that this year. Join me in my quest to find 52 Fresh Breakfast Ideas that don’t leave me feeling heavy or my family still hungry. We may revisit dishes you already know or find some new favorites but my goal for 2014 is a new appreciation for breakfast.

I’m very sorry I’m late with this week’s breakfast. I will use the excuse of having a lot of things on my plate.

The Ultimate Blog Party 2014 started this week. If you’ve never been you might want to drop by and join up. There are even prizes!

The Mom Conference starts next week. It’s free so be sure and sign up.

I’ve got a review up on Captivated the movie. If you’ve had the feeling you need to unplug a bit check it out.

Well that’s enough about that. What’s for breakfast?

I thought this week you may like some yummy Raspberry Muffins.

I haven’t done any muffins yet and we’re a quarter into the year.  It’s Spring too so the perfect time (although it’s not raspberry season). Go find some frozen raspberries and give this recipe a try.
