Strawberry Lemon Muffins

 

Strawberry-lemon-muffins

I’ve been on a baking kick lately. These were a fun Saturday morning treat the kids and I made while my hubby and his friends were working on putting the sprinkling system in our yard. 

It was raining and I knew that they would want something warm and cozy to snack on. Plus, let’s face it, I love any reason to bake. It’s a hobby really.
