This year I have two children in school full time, a second grader and a kindergartner. I can’t believe that we have reached that point since it seems like yesterday I was home 24/7 with a 3 year old, 2 year old and a newborn. And since they are going to school all day, I am packing two lunches five days a week (with the help of the kiddos). Since I like to keep things simple, yet add enough variety so they don’t get too bored I love making homemade muffins like these Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread Muffins
My kids typically love any kind of muffin I make so these were no exception. They loved them in their lunchbox, as an afternoon snack and even with dinner. And the best part is I thankfully had all the ingredients for this recipe in my house. Yes, even the cooked broccoli, although mine is usually roasted.
For this recipe I have teamed up with Produce for Kids® and Meijer again to promote the Jump with Jill program that focuses on healthy eating for school age children.
