A Brand New Week!

Healthy Orange Raisin Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffin

Yup! It's a new week indeed!

Life - Is not just being around because of mere existence but should be looked at as a gift of life from the Almighty. Therefore one should always be appreciative and look forward to give their very best in whatever they are responsible for. It is immaterial if one is a father, a mother, a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a student, a teacher, an employer, an employee, a doctor, a nurse, ect, etc. It's our duty to revolve around doing good to get by each day.

Duty - If your thought is what it should be, you will have little trouble with your action. Remember that to be useful to others, thought must result in action. There must be no laziness, only constant activity in good work.

Today, since the orange fruit brings such a fresh tangy flavour to muffins, it seems to be the family's favourite, I have decided to make this special one which has a slight twist to it. Enjoy!
