Morning glory muffins are made with a little bit of everything- whole wheat flour, shredded carrots, apples, raisins, coconut, and walnuts. But despite their long list of ingredients, they are very easy to make. The most time consuming part is shredding a couple of carrots, but there are ways around that. If you have a…
About 60 percent of the nation’s production of apples comes from Washington state, including just about every variety imaginable. Did you know that? That explains why I see apples for sale everywhere I go, and they always taste so freshly picked. I had a whole bunch of honeycrisp apples that were just starting to soften, so I…

I woke up this morning with a huge smile knowing I could snack on one of these for breakfast; and probably lunch and dessert too. I gave the rest of them to my husband and his friends for their skiing trip, thinking they’d be a perfect pick-me-up. These blueberry poppy seed muffins are like taking a…
I gotta say, I love healthy foods that don’t taste healthy at all. I wanted a to-go version of the fruit and nut oatmeal I’ve been having every morning. Something that was healthy, packed with fiber and Vitamin C, but still super tasty. This time of year, it was a no-brainer to add a whole…
