November 1

A new month.  All sorts of new opportunities.  Desserts for a new restaurant.  Possibility of a new kitchen.  And a blog challenge--to post everyday in November---it would be a good exercise for me I think.

A new muffin that is becoming a staple:  Pumpkin Apple Muffins, adapted from a recipe on The Pioneer Woman's blog.   Hers called for evaporated milk and raisins.  I don't like evaporated milk, so I use cream (half and half) and lots of chopped apples (a combination of Macintosh and Granny Smith) and spiced up the spices with the addition of some ground cloves.   Lovely, soft and super moist muffins.
