November is here!
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

‘Tis the Season for Pumpkin Muffins!
I (Sarah) found this most wonderful recipe on Muffin Top and modified it to make these yummy-wummy treats. They only took 15 minutes to mix up and 30 to bake. So fast and well worth the trouble!
PUMPKIN MUFFINS
Makes 1 dozen
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups cooked, cooled mashed pumpkin (a 15-oz can will do nicely if you haven’t time to make your own pumpkin purée)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp pumpkin-pie spice (I love Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon mixed with 1 Tbsp sugar
Muffin pan with 12 cups
Sugar for dusting pan
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or spray muffin cups and dust with regular granulated sugar.
Whisk together flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
Whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs, pumpkin-pie spice, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in flour mixture until just combined.
Divide batter among sugared muffin cups, then spinkle tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake until golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted into center of muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer muffins from pan to rack and cool.
Shout-out to Steve for his great muffin photography. Thanks, babe!

Fried Twinkies!
NC Resident requirement met.
A lesser known requirement for residents of the great state of North Carolina is sampling a “new” type of fried food each year at the state fair. This year’s challenge was the long awaited fried Twinkies. Result?
Joy-in-the-mouth!
