These are a luxurious muffin, which as fresh strawberry season approaches in the coming months, these are a delicious way to enjoy the berries. The muffins are moist and packed with flavor.
Not to brag, but these blue eggs? I am in love with them. 2 of our newest hens are laying them. It’s a pop of color to the plain beige eggs that have kept us going this winter.
