    If you love the combination of cranberry and orange, you must make these muffins. They have just the right balance of the two flavors and a touch of sweetness with the sugar on top. Yum!!

    Carrot Muffins in Paradise

    May 8, 2018 /

    You’ve heard of Cheeseburger in Paradise, right?  Maybe you don’t listen to Jimmy Buffett.  Well, I have something else straight from Paradise that I know you’ll love.  Carrot muffins!!  Not carrot cake muffins, but simple carrot muffins.  They are so yummy.

I started a tradition several years ago with my oldest friends.  (I’ll write about the Goddesses in a future post.)  We get together at my house every summer for a weekend.  (Well, last year we “roughed it” at Lake Okoboji!!)  We shop, eat, but mostly talk.  This started before we had Facebook, so we had so much to catch up on.  And now, even…
