Strawberry Muffins

I’ve been practicing social distancing since Friday night. Just a few days in, and I will be honest, this is really hard for me. I love a schedule and I like to stay busy. When things are cancelled or moved around, it causes me more stress than it should. So, like every food lover, I have turned to baking and recipe development. I’ve got some great things coming your way, and just what you need to pass the time while we flatten the curve. Hang in there, and enjoy one of these yummy Strawberry Muffins!
