Cappuccino Muffins
Just about everyone I know is a coffee-lover…they love to start their day with a morning cup of coffee (or two)! Some just like plain black coffee. Others like cream and sugar added in.

I first thought of making this quick bread near the end of winter, just before spring arrived.

Honey-Almond Granola
I’m a big fan of granola and I usually make my own because I enjoy experimenting with different ingredients. This is a pretty basic granola, sweetened with honey and a little brown sugar. It has sliced almonds in it, and I also added some almond extract for even more flavor. The golden raisins add a…
