Adapted from Myra Goodman's Raspberry Corn Muffin recipe (in Food to Live By), these muffins are moist and delicious with a texture that I really like. The kids loved them, too.

Gnocchi! Fun to say. Fun to make. This is NOT your Naunie’s Gnocchi! (Naunnie was my Italian grandmother) This “cheat” recipe uses potato flakes (horrors!) in place of the usual mashed potatoes. With the aid of a food processor and a few sim…

These are for the times when you want to eat 'healthy' but only in the not-calling-out-for-pizza sense of the word. Residual 1990's fat gram counting guilt aside, these are damned delicious. Pour yourself a glass of something cold and zingy and sit d (read full article)
