Raspberry Streusel Muffins

"Bedecked with a crunchy oat-nut topping, these buttery berry-flavored muffins are meant for special mornings, when breakfast is truly an event."

A great way to start the weekend.

Starting our weekend off with some

Almond Poppyseed Muffins!

I baked them in mini muffin pans

BAKED

wintry weekend

Freezing fog during the night covers the city in a blanket of white frost each morning. The fog eventually clears leaving us with cold temperatures and sunny blue skies the rest of the day.
