Pumpkin Muffins

OMG! These are so good! I used this recipe from Smitten Kitchen.

I also made a little maple butter to go with them. I used a 1/4 cup of softened butter and mixed in a tablespoon or so of maple syrup. Words just can't describe how good it was!

Thank you all for all your kind comments on my "Sampler Stocking." I've been working on "My Lady's Quaker," but I don't have enough progress to show a new picture. Hopefully tomorrow!

Well, it turns out I'm not able to go to Myrtle Beach in October after all. I had promised my mom I would go down to Florida when the kids had a four day weekend next month. Well, it turns out that it's the same weekend as the Pals Fall Fling. I would cancel going down to Florida, but my mom is going through a really hard time right now and it's the only time that the kids have off until Thanksgiving. I felt really bad when I emailed Amy today to let her know I couldn't go. I hope she understands! Sorry again Amy!

Well, I've got to get back to cleaning. Write later!

Christmas is Forever

I stayed up way too late last night stitching Lizzie Kate's "Christmas is Forever." I'm loving this one! I love the colors - they are so bright and pretty!

I had some leftover bananas so I thought I would make some banana muffins today. I got the recipe from my mom and they are so good!

Here's the recipe...

Preheat oven to 425, spray muffin pan with cooking spray.

Wet Ingredients
3 ripe bananas mashed
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 - 1 tsp vanilla (optional)

Dry Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

mix wet ingredients in one bowl and dry in another. Make a well in dry ingredients, dump wet into the well. Mix well. Bake for 15 min - until top is firm. I sprinkled some walnuts on top of a few of them for me (my kids don't like nuts).

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. We are staying home having a very small dinner. Actually I haven't even gone shopping yet (that's pretty sad). Write later!
