GLAZED PEAR MUFFINS
I am not a get up and cook in the morning kind of girl! I have animals to feed and a kid to get out the door and the last thing I want to do is find breakfast but these muffins hit the spot and a super easy to make. The cinnamon teams up nicely with the pears and the glaze on top is just the final touch -- but you can't eat just...
