I could eat a muffin every morning. No, that’s not true. I could eat two muffins every morning. Two muffins and a nice hot cup of coffee sounds like a great way to start the day to me. I’m fine with eating yummy veggies and salads all day but morning time is bakery time in my mind. That does not quite fit in with a healthy lifestyle when an average muffin can have at least half the fat you should have all day. What’s a muffin lover to do? Eat unashamedly until her thighs look like muffin tops or find a low fat solution? I have chosen to find a low fat solution.
