Honey Pear Muffins

Moist, delicious, flavorful, seasonal, refreshing, fluffy, warm. 

My honey pear muffins are exactly what they are suppose to be.....a tasty and satisfying muffin!

Karel left for Jacksonville, FL yesterday for 3 jammed-packed days of Retül bike fits. 

To make sure my hubby had some healthy/feel-good snacking options for the road trip (and between fits) I packed him a cooler of foods as well as a snack bag.

I also decided to make Karel some muffins since he loves muffins and well, anything that resembles bread. FYI: we are a carb loving family. 

I picked up a few pears the other day and I thought a honey pear muffin creation would be fantastic...and it was!!!

I hope you enjoy the muffins and make sure to yum really loud when you eat them so others around you know how great it feels to eat a yummy creation that you made at home.
