National Raisin Bran Cereal Day | Raisin Bran Muffins

I stayed up all night watching New Girl because I’m a little more than obsessed and I cannot get enough of it. And normally, on weekend mornings, I made a breakfast of eggs, potatoes, some fruit, but this morning, guess what?, I’m watching New Girl again. And I’m not making eggs and potatoes because I’d much rather see where Jessica and Nick’s relationship goes. This morning, I’m thankful for these muffins.

Done in no time flat the other night, I grabbed one of these, heated it up, spread on a teeny amount of butter, and ah, New Girl + raisin bran muffin heaven. In fact, an episode is on right now as I type this. And Schmidt is cracking me up, like usual.

These muffins are best right out of the oven. They make you happy when skies are gray. I would know – skies were gray yesterday and yet, I enjoyed two of these bad boys for breakfast.
