Catherine, I would have never thought about putting carrots and raisins in the same muffin...and then eating it for breakfast. But, they not only look good but they sound good. I guess I need to think outside the box a bit more! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

These are actually the best way to start the day... Not overly sweet with a good amount of veggies!

Dearest Catherine, First I have to say I love the new logo of "Living the Gourmet" very nice with the roses on the side. Second your poem is so lovely, I can relate because I had a chair that was given to me from my mom. This chair everyone sat in when I was young in my mom's living room. It was a huge brown overstuffed chair which I loved to sit and read my books. I often used to sit and think of all the people who sat in it and the good times we had and the sad times as well. Thanks for your poem, it brings back memories! Now for your “Light” Carrot and Raisin Breakfast Muffins, just so yummy looking. I love carrot cake, it is one of my favorites. These muffins with the carrot, raisins, and cinnamon will be flavorful and a wonderful delight to have for breakfast on any day. Thanks for sharing your creativity in writing and baking. Blessings Dottie 🙂
