One might think this recipe is called spring rice because it summons the flavors of aspring roll. And it has notes of savory fried rice. It seems we typically make certain recipes during particular times of the year. It’s true, some recipes seem like fall, or winter, and others for warmer weather.

I’ve had a month of March muffin madness. I just can’t get over the many ways we can satisfy a sugar craving with a treat so sweet and packed with nutrition, but absolutely no flour, refined sugar, or oil. The nutrients in these muffins are nothing to joke about.

The rain was fabulous, and I pray it continues. I hope it didn’t put a damper on your spring break, but I think most West Texans realize the value of the moisture. I always sound like a farmer’s daughter. Hum.... I do hope a little break or travel time allowed you some reading time.

The science of baking truly amazes me. It is difficult for me to comprehend that a cake-like muffin can be prepared without flour of any type. And they can completely, 100 percent mimic a regular cupcake or muffin.
