Sophie here. Blogging from mommy’s computer. Soon I hope to have my own blog called “Table Food for Kids.”
Today, my mom and I decided to make some yummy muffins called Lemon Raspberry Muffins. They had raspberries in them, as well as a very good topping with lemons and sugar.
We mixed together sugar, eggs, and flour. Then, we zested a lemon and mixed it into the batter. Then we added the raspberries and carefully folded them into the batter.
Then, me and my brother took our fingers and licked it! Don’t worry, we asked mommy first. She said it was OK.
We had to put them in the oven, but it was not really fun waiting.
When they were done, we waited for them to cool down. That was not fun either.
Then mommy put a topping on them too.
Then we tasted them . They were delicious!

A memory maker, heart breaker ! Thanks, Love, ” Oompa “
Great muffins, Soph! And nice first blog post!
Julie and Sophie- I just made these because I had some buttermilk to use up. Delicious! The glaze gives the muffin the perfect amount of sweetness.
