Have you had a healthy snack today?

We sure did! I was looking for a different muffin to bake up for snacks other than our normal one. What initially caught my eye in this recipe was that it called for 1 whole orange that you put in the blender with the rest of the wet ingredients. I thought that was kind of unusual as I've never done something like that (minus the seeds if you couldn't find a seedless one). Orange Bran Flaxseed Muffins are packed full of healthy grains, fruit and a bit of brown sugar for the right amount of sweetness. The smell these gave off while baking was amazing! The texture is as expected from the use of oat/wheat bran and ground flaxseed, but it doesn't have a rubbery texture and I don't find they are that heavy either.


Keeping in line with the healthy trek we started on today, tonight's dinner was Maple-Balsamic Pork Tenderloins(CL). A side of Green Salad with Apples and Maple-Walnut Dressing(CL) went very well with the light and very tender meat. I needed to buy a bottle of Walnut oil for this - Glad I did, but I wish it came in a smaller container! I had a request for the sour cream cheddar drop biscuits, so I mixed that up right before the meat was done so that rounded out the meal.
