There’s something about pink grapefruit that just makes me smile. Well, there is the fact that they are pink and that happens to be my favorite color. And the fact that they are citrus, which is one of my favorite smells…ever. Side note, have you tried the grapefruit La Croix, it is lit. (Are the cool kids still saying “lit”? Man, I’m feeling old.) Anyways, back to the muffins. Aren’t they the cutest! The idea for these Grapefruit Mini Muffins came into my life back in January when I made a batch of lemon poppy seed muffins and thought, hmm…I wonder if anyone ever makes grapefruit muffins? Once…

Me being the loving…

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

The pumpkin puree gives these pancakes a nice flavor and a rich color that just looks like fall. They are delicious when served with maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but sometimes I splurge and top…
