Welcome to our third day of Spring Week! All this week, I am celebrating Spring with a few friends, Gina, Kellie, Shelley and Charlotte, each day will be filled with Spring ideas! We kicked off the week with adorable little Lemon Chick Peeper Cookies! Gina shared her Spring Mantel, and today Shelley is sharing a Simple Easter Countdown.

One of the flavors that I love most, especially during Spring is orange, and when you pair it with cranberries…it’s a win-win! These Orange Cranberry Muffins are a perfect Spring treat!

Not only are these Orange Cranberry Muffins perfect for Spring, they also go great with your Easter Brunch. Doug and I whipped up an Easter Brunch to share over on Pocket Change Gourmet.

Sure to please your family, the Easter Brunch is complete with Amish Breakfast Casserole, Fruit Salad, Sunrise Punch and the Orange Cranberry Muffins! YUM!

The original recipe for the Orange Cranberry Muffins came from Joy in my Kitchen, I changed the recipe a bit, and added the orange glaze to the top to make them a little more special for Easter Brunch.

There just isn’t enough time in the day or days of the week for me to bake up all the great Pumpkin recipes I have on my list.

I baked these Pumpkin Muffins for a Halloween Party we went to, and added them to a tray with Halloween Cupcakes and Pumpkin Bars (recipe soon). I also left a few at home to have with our Halloween Breakfast last weekend, they were so good they almost didn’t make it to the breakfast. Then I had to save a few for pictures, and they almost didn’t last for that either.

Needless to say…these Pumpkin Muffins are were really good!!

My week was crazy, busy with the Back to School Giveaway Bonanza.(4 of the giveaways are still open, Hurry!) I hope you all enjoyed it! I did, but am really glad to be back to my regular posting and sharing yummy recipes and my home with you!

I typically share a Main Dish with you and our Menu Plan, but since these Blueberry Muffins go so well with breakfast, I thought you might like them.

I baked them in regular size, plain and some with cinnamon streusel topping, and also some mini size. My youngest, likes them better in the mini size. It’s the exact same recipe, but for some reason, he says they taste different. And of course, I don’t mind baking them different sizes. I have shared these before, but it’s been over a year, so I thought you might like to have the recipe again. Plus, my camera skills have gotten a little better.

There are many of my cake recipes that I have made into muffins or cupcakes. These Graham Streusel Muffins are some that work perfectly.

I shared my Graham Streusel Cake with you last winter, but wanted to share these muffins too.

Even though I enjoy baking from scratch, sometimes my time is limited, so starting with a cake mix for these muffins is perfect!
