You were all so generous with your encouragement of my drawing! I promise I wasn’t fishing, but your comments really made my day.
You know how sometimes you just need a muffin, or some kind of warm home baked goodness? Usually for me that same urge accompanies the cupboard being bare of common muffin ingredients. Yesterday was one of those days, but I went through the pantry to see what I did have, then went to the internet to see what kind of yummy muffin I could make with it. And so voila
Maple Pecan Muffins. They are DELICIOUS and totally satisfying. If you make them (and you’ll be so happy if you do), don’t skip the cinnamon sugar topping- it makes the whole muffin experience. I think these would be so good with warm apple cider or a spicy chai or latte. You know what I wish I had? A friend to have elevenses with. Of course HMB is good company, but she’s a few months away from being able to eat baked goods and enjoy sitting down over a cuppa. I love living in a city, but I have this suburban fantasy of having a really nice neighbor who might come over and join me for muffins and a bit of a chat (perhaps about this week’s episode of Gossip Girl?). In lieu of that, thank you for coming by for a virtual muffin and I hope you have a wonderful day!
