Recipe Notes

“You’d find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair.” (Anne of Green Gables.) That being said, a few words about a different ginger-the rhizome- used in this recipe. Ginger can help big time with motion-sickness...some studies have shown it to be more effective than dramamine. Thus, these muffins should really travel well-ha! Another bonus- ginger boosts the immune system and can do wonders as an anti-inflammatory. For real. Ginger rules (and gingers rule!)
