These Lemon Raspberry Muffins taste perfect and are super easy to make!
The other day I had a sudden need for a muffin. That feeling that hits you out of nowhere and there will never be peace in the world until there is a muffin in your stomach! Yes it was that dramatic in my head (and my stomach)!
Particularly These Muffins
Still in my PJ’s, cause that’s how I roll-I had gotten the kids up and taken them to town and fed the cows all in my pajama’s but I knew I had to draw the line at going to the grocery store, I hopped up to change when the back door opened and Chris walked in!
“Hey”
“Hey”
“I need muffins”
“The sows in the farrowing barn need heat lamps”
“But I need muffins”
“They are getting ready to farrow you need to get that done and fix some dividers and replace an electrical outlet”
“But muffins…….and I don’t know how to fix an electrical outlet and muffins”
I should have never said ‘Hey’…….it was all downhill from there!
But he left, I got dressed ran to the grocery store for ingredients, and still had the whole afternoon to save little baby pigs from the cold with fresh working heat lamps all around and clean mats!
Heat lamps are important for newborn piglets. Newborn piglets are amazing they literally are born and within seconds have the instinct to hop up, climb over the sows (mother pig) hind legs and instinctively find a teat to nurse and receive colostrum. But they also are still wet and need warmth. They will lay wherever is the warmest, so we provide a safe space – a rubber mat and heat lamp, this keeps them from always being under the sow and her accidentally laying on them.
Lemon Raspberry Muffins
But first I needed muffins!!
I love lemon in the Spring – they just seem to go together and then add raspberries…..well these were a big hit!
These Easy Lemon and Blueberry Muffins are just as delicious if you prefer blueberries!
