Weekday mornings

Weekday mornings in the Price household are fairly regimental: Soy lattes and one of my notorious oat bran muffins with a tablespoon of almond flaxseed butter.

 Lattes are strong, with a good amount of froth and a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. We Prices are not fans of flavored coffee, but I have been known to add pinches of allspice, cardamom and clove for a special pumpkin spice latte.

As for muffins, I am often asked for the recipe - it begins with basic ingredients including whole wheat pastry flour, oat bran and flaxseeds, then I add goodies such as:

• applesauce & apricots
• banana & carrot
• butternut squash & maple
• mango, ginger & pear
• pumpkin
• pumpkin & banana
• zucchini

Really, the possibilities are endless.

Yes, I am a self-described muffin baking addict. At any given moment, you could open our freezer and find nine to 18 frozen muffins, lined up neatly in their airtight ziplocks waiting to be toasted and slathered with nut butter. And that makes for a good morning in our kitchen.
