Zesty Orange Sour Cream Muffins

Well Good Morning Sunshine. Let me introduce you to my new end of summer friend, the Zesty Orange Sour Cream Muffin. While I absolutely love donuts and pastries to go along my during the week coffee shop beverages, all those calories from that giant croissant or my personal favorite, the Boston creme donut, shouldn’t be in your daily diet. Here is a great recipe to make over the weekend and pack for the car for breakfast on the go during your work week. The citrus will keep you clinging to summer. #teamwakeup
