I love having muffins, cookies and other snacks in the freezer for the kids. Whether it’s a day visit with them or they are here, I love to take something homemade to them. I feel like it just shows them what I do and how I love baking and cooking for them. I also know they don’t get many homemade treats. SOOO much of what you get at the store is so processed and added chemicals to them, I would rather make stuff at home. They know there are certain things we won’t buy them like, soda, fast food or cookies or something like that. Well for fast food I know Jimmy will take them every now to Chick Fil A.

I grew up in the kitchen baking with my mom. These kids love to bake or cook with me in the kitchen. The other day we did a quiz while baking. Every time they got an answer right they got to put an ingredient in the mixing bowl. They thought this was so much fun. So I will definitely be doing it again. We are trying to make learning fun for them and excited to learn. While they were here for Spring break, we had fun doing homework and felt like they learned a lot. We are always looking for ways to help them learn.

On one of our visits I brought these muffins and they gobbled them up. They asked for another one, so I will definitely be making these again for the kiddos. I love using greek yogurt in muffins. I really love how it makes the muffins extra moist and not so crumbly. I used melted butter in these muffins for that buttery flavor. I little bit of lemon zest just for freshness.
