Bridget, I have been a stay at home mom all my married life and nothing beats cooking from fresh and pickles and baking. These muffins are great. Although my family has grown up and are all away in their own lives they remember mom’s cooking. I am alone and old now and can only cook for myself. When my kids come home which is not too often but I try to make them their favorites and Crosby’s Molasses has always been at the fore front of my cooking.I used molasses in ways you couldn’t imagine.My kids loved it.

Dear Mareen, It’s so wonderful to hear how important cooking and baking has been to your family life. I love how favourite recipes from our childhood bring back the warmest memories and I bet your kids feel very special when they arrive home to your cooking. How wonderful that molasses is wrapped up in all of that.
