While I think raspberries carry the day on their own, just a trickle of almond extract transports morning muffins to a new level. And these are low-sugar and whole-grain to boot!
You could use fresh berries, but they are so fleeting a pleasure, I always go for frozen here. —sarabclever

My love of cooking grew out of my love of eating and travel. Now I'm working full time with a preschooler and toddler, so it's a bit of a juggle to say the least, especially as the "picky phase" emerges (I hope it's a phase, anyway). I've lived an travelled abroad a lot but now am in the Boston area, and cooking is my way to travel these days! My sisters and I are spread out across the US but started a blog together where we post recipes and talk about food. Mostly the kind that satisfies our sweet tooth.
