Mothers Day and delicious muffins!

Happy Mother's Day

 to all you beautiful,

 wonderful moms out there!

I found this little quote on  this morning...so very true...

I also came across a lot of great sounding recipes on  all-bran.ca , using of course All Bran Cereal. I chose to make some muffins and was really happy with the results...we all agreed these muffins were simply delicious and will definitely be making them again!
*I made some minor changes to the original recipe to suit my family's tastes, this is the link to the original recipe Banana Raisin Muffins
