Meet the Cook: When it comes to baking, muffins are No. 1 to me. I bake a batch every day. These are great with your favorite tea...or cool lemonade in the summer or a cup of hot cocoa in the winter! My family - my husband and I have three children...7, 3 and 2 - live in the country. We have horses and enjoy riding, along with fishing, boating plus lots of other outdoor activities. -Terrie Cox, Honeyville, Utah

I made these for my youngest daughters class party last year and they were a big hit! I love the gentle lemon taste they have. Serve with soft light cream cheese for a real treat! These are great in a mini-muffin pan as well.
