I spent Thanksgiving this year in the beautiful Rocky
Mountains in Banff, Alberta.
Of course, one cannot show up to turkey dinner empty handed. With that in mind I extended my packing procrastination time by baking some delicious muffins to trek across the country. These are the healthiest muffins I have ever made.
Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350°F
and line muffin tin with muffin cups.
When I first heard about this business trip I was a little
bummed to be flying solo over the holiday weekend. With the expectation of
swapping turkey dinner for over-priced, under-flavoured airport food I was
delighted when a friend of mine offered for me to spend thanksgiving with her
family in Calgary. Her family was more than generous, providing me with a
delicious meal, a place to lay my head, great company and a guided tour of the
beautiful Lake Louise and Banff. It is beyond easy for me to list the things I am thankful for and they certainly make the list!
The Rocky Mountains were breathtaking. I love when nature
makes me feel small.
