It's been quite a while since my last post.... I spend my summers as a craft director in an overnight camp, and just returned back to "civilization" a few days ago. And now the rush begins... school, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, all just around the corner. So here we go! School.... this word takes on a different meaning for everyone. For the teachers, it's preparing lessons and getting everything ready for the classroom, for students it means studying, homework, etc, etc, and for mothers it means many things, including figuring out quick, healthy breakfasts and delicious, yet nutritious snacks. So here is one recipe that can take care of everything. These muffins have all of the qualifications, and are really easy to make. They're so good (and disappear so quickly). I always try to keep a stash in the freezer to make sure I don't run out. This recipe was part of a group of Back to School recipes that I wrote for Mishpacha Magaine last Year. The reviews were fantastic!!!
