Cocoa Carrot Muffins

Great fun at yesterday's Wellness Expo in Peterborough.  Lots of great vendors.  They also had Lorna Vanderhaeghe as a guest speaker (too bad i  missed it). 
Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth and bought a cookbook and thanks to Bonnie who helped man the booth and gave out free samples of my Cocoa Carrot Muffins (one of the recipes in the cookbook)
