Despite all recent evidence to the contrary, I do make things other than muffins. But this past Friday night, Meaghan and I decided to have a cozy night inside: reading, tea, cats and Cardamom Crumb Muffins. They are fast to through together and completely delightful. It’s a perfect way to fill your house with a spicy scent and celebrate the arrival of the season. -Amanda
