Kelly Rudnicki
I make these muffins every time I serve chili for dinner because I can’t imagine a more perfect match. They are simply mixed in one bowl and make yummy regular sized muffins or mini muffins. In fact, I make the mini’s more often because my kids love to grab 2-3 of them at dinner.Dried Fig and Apricot Balls

Flavored with cumin, turmeric, coriander, coconut milk! I also made these Dried Fig and Apricot Balls. Very yummy and just a bit sweet.Greek Tomato & Cucumber Salad
