magical, mystical muffin mondays

 Why all the alliteration you ask? Simply, because it's fun! And that's what Graham and I refer to as my latest "job" ;) As if being a wife and mom to a bunch of barbarians wasn't enough, for the past few months I have had the pleasure of working for a wonderful lady named, Karen. She runs a bake shop out of her kitchen in Norcross and makes delicious and yummy baked goods! On a weekly basis we'll make ezekiel pumpkin chocolate chip mini-muffins (or sans the chips and get golden raisin and cranberry...mmm...), whole wheat honey bread and whole wheat flaxseed chocolate chip almond cookies...all with flour that we milled just that morning. And the best part of it all is that it's all healthy and nutritious!! So fantastic. Anyway, I just thought I'd share this with y'all and take you through a typical baking day.

First we prepare all the ingredients and line them up. 
Today we made two batches of ezekiel pumpkin chocolate chip mini-muffins.

Then we mix all the batter and bake and bake until we can't bake anymore. ;) 
Then we let them cool.


Mmmm...yummy muffins... ;)


And at long last, we package them up!


This is actually a picture of our half dozen bag...our full dozen (baker's dozen as a matter of fact!) is much bigger and comes with a cute ribbon. :)

I strongly suggest that y'all check out Karen's website, www.13moonsbakery.com . She's got all the nutrition facts and products there, too. And if you're in or around the Norcross area order some stuff! I'm sure you'll love it! Lincoln calls the muffins "treats", but they are actually much more healthy for him than most other "non-treat" foods! Gotta love it. Hope you enjoyed this. And I most certainly hope your Monday was also magical, mystical and magnificent! ;)
