I appreciate your note and advice about the fruit.

I will read the recipe carefully.

I really, really love the muffins from my favorite cafe. But the steady diet of $2.75 muffins, plus tax and tip are really eating into my budget.

Maybe I'll indulge as an every-now-and-then treat, but not 3 to five times a week.

Plus, I think baking muffins will be a fun and relaxing activity with my kids.

Thanks for the input!
