I bought a bag of gingersnaps last week and I’ve been doing some experimenting….I made some bars that had a gingersnap crust (still working on those) and I made these muffins.

Read More...After much anticipation, here begins the long awaited Hubby guest post. Today, I’m the boss, and I’m taking over the Lean Green Bean.
