Peggy Reed of Vergennes, Vermont says her granddaughter Kelsey has always loved cooking. At age 4, Kelsey entered Bran Muffins in a baking contest. "The recipe Kelsey used is great for kids. The ingredients are measured in whole amounts," Peggy explains. "It makes a lot of batter, but it can be stored in the refrigerator so the muffins can be made in batches."
