Mixed Berry Muffin Recipe - 85 cals a muffin

I (well, my 10 yr old niece Leilani), discovered wild blackberries growing in my apt complex about a month ago; and it's been exciting to know I had free food for the picking (just like our ancestors did!)

I already had blueberries & strawberries at home, so I went foraging for some blackberries, in the rain, to make my muffins last night! They were delish! 

Recipe:

1/4 c butter

1/2 c unsweetened applesauce

1/2 t salt

3/4 c sugar

2 c whole wheat flour

1 T baking powder

1 t vanilla

1/2 c unsweetened almond milk

1/3 c blackberries

1/3 c blueberries

1/3 c chopped strawberries

Mix all the ingredients (sorry, I don't do the fancy step by step for mixing! lol). I used the mini muffin cups & baked at 350 degrees F for 15 mins.

Makes 24 mini muffins - 85 cals a muffin

Enjoy!

I Fed A Rhino....And I Liked It!

My husband & I haven't gone away for the weekend in over a year....so we FINALLY went down to Miami this past weekend; particularly to the Miami Zoo! (Don't judge us! We love the outdoorsy type outings!) 

While there, we both got to feed a rhino named Suru!!!! How awesome was that?! We've done the feeding of the giraffes, parakeets, stingrays & random barnyard animals, but a RHINO?! We could NOT resist!!!

The best two things: 

1. I walked away with rhino saliva on my fingers.

2. Scratched another item off my bucket list!

Enjoy & live life!
