Cardamom Spice Muffins

Just had another fabulous farm meal of honey glazed pasture-raised chicken with roasted parsnips and balsamic arugula salad. If the food we were growing wasn’t so dang good, there is no way I could be a farmer.  Some of my favourite recipes of the season include: marinated kale salad, cilantro lamb kebabs, warm potato arugula salad, bacon lentil salad, asian style duck, sweet potato coconut pudding, chicken salad with lime, and so much more!  I’ll try to share these recipes soon!

Every 2 weeks or so Seb makes me a special baked gluton-free treat of “exotic” flours from worlds away.  He knows it’s time to make one when I start greedily eyeing his toast.  He made me these yesterday, Cardamom Spice Muffins, one of my favourites!
