I take after my late Mom. She liked to take recipes and “health them up.”
Yum, these turned out really well. Used the basic recipe off a Rogers Wheat Bran package for bran muffins, cut the sugar in half, added 1/3 cup oatmeal, about 1/2 cup of mashed pumpkin (yes, dating back to Halloween!), about 1/2 cup of blueberries, a dash of roasted pumpkin seeds, and some sesame seeds.
UPDATE (Dec. 21): Damn those were good :-). All gone four days later. Still some mashed pumpkin from Halloween in the fridge, so another batch on the way. . .
On my way home from a photo shoot at Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR I stopped at Fraser Foreshore Park in SE Burnaby, BC.

It was blustery and chilly at Iona Beach Regional Park near YVR, so I didn’t tarry, but I did get some shots of Snow Geese and a hawk.
