So, I have a new obsession, well, its one of many lately, but its an obsession that one of my friends introduced me to.
However, I was out ragged to read this in their newsletter today…

I saw this today and it made me sad-somewhat outraged- they are blaspheming one of my favorite snacks –
At least it fell in the “healthy” category. How dare then make it sound like a muffin is cake. Don’t they know the food pyramid and food categories? A cake is a cake and a muffin is a muffin. Now if they poured it in those little mini bundt pans and put icing on it, that would be different, but for now its in a paper liner and that makes it a muffin, and its pumpkin which can totally be considered a vegetable, so, we are totally ok, eating vegetables for breakfast.
Actually, for eating vegetables for breakfast, we should get a reward and I think it should be a cake!
If it comes in a paper liner and is baked in a “muffin” pan, then its a muffin. Some may call things like this a cupcake, and that’s fine, we can introduce that category, those are baked in cupcake pans, but at my house, they are called muffin pans.
I rest my case!
(remember I’m the girl who was raised in a house where my mom ate left over chocolate cake for breakfast -or pumpkin pie the day after thanksgiving, so this is totally logical)
Lol, I’m with you, Keisha. Life is short, eat dessert first. Muffins can be very nutricious i.e. cranberry, blueberry, oatmeal raisin. Vital nutrients included indeed.
Preach it girl!
