Blackberry Poppyseed Muffins

For breakfast this morning Hannah made these yummy muffins. At first she could not decide what flavor to do, then she realized that we had some blackberries that needed used up, so she started making a basic muffin batter and it soon turned into these yummy Blackberry Poppyseed Muffins! They were very delicious, especially right out of the oven:)

Just look at those juicy berries bursting with antioxidants!

Below you can read more about the health benefits of blackberries!

The ripe berries contain large quantities of fructose sugars, citric acid, and are high in vitamins C and E. They also contain salicylate, which is an analgesic or pain reliever, and which may help lower the risk of heart disease. The juices also contain several anti-oxidants which continuing research indicates is helpful for preventing or lowering the incidence of many diseases, including cancer. Note that cooking can break down some of these healthful ingredients, so the ripe berries eaten raw are far better for you than the berries that are cooked into pies or which are processed in other ways.

Leftover Spaghetti Sauce?

So what do you do when you have leftover spaghetti sauce? What we like to do is add to it any veggie that you might have in your fridge cook it up in the sauce on your stove, then sprinkle it with a bit of mozzarella cheese, and presto, you have a yummy nutritious meal!

We put mushrooms, zucchini and eggplant in ours.
