Six Week Bran Muffin Mix

A friend of mine passed this recipe along. It is great to make this up, put it in the fridge, and have it to make up anytime you need it (over the next six weeks).  My kids love muffins for breakfast, or in their lunches in lieu of a sandwich (or in addition to).  These are healthy and full of good-tasting-fiber!  Thanks Shauna! ingredients: 2 cups boiling water 6 cups bran cereal...

Fresh Peach Pie
