The Muffin Story
My younger one is allergic to package food. We recently did a food and respiratory allergy test and found out he is allergic to few things and our doc has advised us to keep him away from packaged and overly processed food.
My child is quite adjusting and he knows that he shouldn’t be eating certain food, but there are times, where he sulks that he isn’t able to enjoy chips and biscuits like others. So, to pep him up, I bake his favorite muffins, which he happily takes in his snack box.
This week, he is very happy that he got a different muffin every day in his snack box. I asked him to rate the muffins, carrot & ginger muffins came first, whereas today’s pear chocolate chip muffins came second and apple muffins came third.

I think I have to get some firm pears only to bake them into muffins. They look absolutely amazing. I am sure they tasted yum too, because I have baked a cake earlier and it was melt in mouth…
