Morning Glory Muffins

Hello again. You know, rainy days always make me want to bake something yummy. I was in the mood for some morning glory muffins. I found this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens years ago and it's become one of my favorite muffin recipes. The first time I made them, I wasn't sure if the children would try them because of all the carrots and apples in the recipe but I was wrong. The muffins turned out to be so good and sweet. Once the family realized how delicious they were, they didn't last long at all. Hint, hint... This is also a really great way to sneak in extra fruits and vegetables for picky eaters.

Stromboli

Not long ago, my husband and I chose to go to an Italian cooking class for our date night. It was called 'A Taste of Italy' and the food was absolutely delicious. We had so much fun that night learning new recipes and cooking together in the kitchen. I wanted to share our favorite from the class and I'm hoping you will enjoy it just as much as we did. Now that Stromboli is requested often at our house, we make this all the time. I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is to make.
