Pumpkin Muffins, two ways
It's still November, so it's STILL pumpkin season, right?
cookbook. I am IN.LOVE. with these muffins (I would happily eat all 12 in one sitting). Even though they are listed in the breakfast section of the cookbook, they are wonderful with a cup of butternut squash soup or a bowl chili.Pumpkin Cheddar Muffins
{adapted from Baked Explorations
}1 c. canned pumpkin
3 TBSP sour cream
2 eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, cooled and melted
2 c. flour
1 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1 & 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1 & 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 & 1/4 c. grated sharp white cheddar
Preheat oven to 400. Use a paper towel to lightly coat the insides of 12 muffin cups with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cayenne, salt, pepper and brown sugar. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients into the well and gently fold until combined. Fold in 3/4ths of the cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed.

Next up....the sweet.

If you are one of the crazy pumpkin-haters (and I know you're out there), never fear, these don't taste like pumpkin, they taste like CAKE!
Vanilla Pumpkin Muffins
2 egg whites
1 box French Vanilla cake mix
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
sanding or sparkling sugar
Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly coat 15 or so baking liners with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Place in a muffin tin.
Lightly beat the egg whites. Stir in the cake mix and the pumpkin. Stir until combined.

You just have to hold these linens in your hands and admire the quality work to understand that you are purchasing an heirloom that will be with your family for years. ENJOY the selection I have chosen!
This beautiful linen hand towel was a gift to me from two kind and generous ladies. Isn't it absolutely beautiful? The linen was also beautifully packaged.
