Happy Autumn

In: celestina marie design, fall muffin recipe 12:37:00 AM By: Celestina Marie

Welcome Fall and a Happy Weekend. I love this time of year and the start of cooler temps and sweater weather. It brings me to revisit a long ago post from 2007 sharing a yummy muffin recipe from one of my many cook books inherited from my mother. I am sharing it again because the muffins are that good and I hope you will be inspired to try them. Enjoy~ One of the things I collect are cook books and this 1948 Watkins book was my mothers when she got married. She was a very accomplished cook and baker, so this book has been lovingly enjoyed over and over. The other day, I was looking for a muffin recipe and found this one for muffins that I changed a bit by adding little bits of apple. They turned out so yummy and I thought you might like to share in the recipe by seeing the ingredients from the original book and the variations you can make. Perfect for a cool fall day.

Thank you for stopping by and also for the comments you are so kind to leave. I enjoy all your visits and will see you soon. Happy Autumn! Hugs, Celestina Marie

The old cook books are the best and I have a few lovely old ones, belonging to my Mother.
Muffins are wonderful if you want to whip something up in a hurry.
Thanks for sharing the recipe, yours look good.
