If you have been lucky enough to be one of the first to pick up at Farm to Folk the past couple weeks you have probably been able to sample a couple of the delicious muffins a couple of our producers have brought in. Heather from Heather's Bread was sampling The Everything Muffin a couple weeks ago and this past week Judy from The Berry Patch brought in Morning Glory Muffins. We got so many "oohs and aahs" and requests for the recipes, we now have them to share with you! Dig out your muffin pan because you'll want to make these muffins right away.
NOTE TO REMEMBER: On February 16, Farm to Folk will host it's first (hopefully first of many), cooking demonstration! We will be learning how to make a winter soup (yum...sigh).
Also, make sure to check out the blog next week as I will have Valentine's Day gift ideas for the foodie in your life as well as our gathered responses to "what's the quickest way to your heart?" You won't want to miss it!
