Sorry my weight loss before and after photos are so late going up this month…March was pretty crazy around here, and that spilled over into April as well. It was one of those, “Was I life swapped??? And can I PLEASE have my old life back?” months. So, I can either risk sounding…
Lemon Poppyseed Muffin in a Mug
This (low carb) lemon poppyseed muffin is one of my favorite ways to start my day. Lemons and poppyseeds make me cheerful. This is a really quick recipe to toss together, and you can either bake it up in the oven (in regular muffin cups…it will make 3 muffins), or microwave it in a mug…
