Black and Strawberry Orange Zest Muffins

Black and Strawberry Orange Zest Muffins

My daughter~in~law has no idea how very proud I am of her! She recently gave up her job to stay at home with my beautiful Grandchildren. She and my son are picking up our family tradition of homeschooling, home cooking with healthy natural ingredients and in the works....a garden! Gives me goose bumps!! Seriously!!

They had recently bought their first home, not so far away from us in the gorgeous rural life of Texas. Theirs is a homestead in the making indeed!

So now Granny Pammy feels both proud and free in the same breath...I've now taken on a new, but old challenge of my own. I've taken on a job as grower for an organic farm called Hibiscus Hill Plantation. You will probably be seeing me blog all about my new adventures very soon!

So the challenge is seeing if Mr. Garden and myself can both maintain Thyme Square Gardens and Hibiscus Hill. I've felt such a calling to share the growth of growing clean and healthy food using natural growing methods as well as utilizing a more permacultural diverse method. It's all for the love of our future generations!

But getting back to this glorious recipe made by Monica! I think you're going to LOVE IT! Blackberries! Strawberries! With those awesome in season Oranges!! Talk about making the whole house fill up with delight as these bake fresh in the kitchen!

Monica lovingly enjoying being Mom!
