Good Eatin' Through the Country Door!

It snowed AGAIN yesterday! I was so excited to see more of that white fluffy stuff! We only received about 2 inches, but it's still very beautiful outside! It should stay on the ground for a day or two due to the below freezing temps at night, then it will be gone. We have some 'spring-like' days ahead of us...and, although I love winter,  I'm sooo looking forward to warmer weather...not hot, just warmer!  The only downfall to that is that I've lost 25 pounds since last summer and not too many of my clothes fit anymore! I guess I will just have to go shopping...hehe! But, what girl doesn't like to do that!!

Speaking of shopping, I've started receiving my Spring catalogs in the mail. One of my favorites is Through the Country Door. You can find their website here. I have so many pages marked...I'm going to have to hit the lottery in order to buy everything I want! Then I'd have to buy a bigger house in order to have enough space to put it all! But....a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!


Besides for the beautiful home decor they offer, they also feature recipes in their catalog and on their web site. These muffins sounded pretty tasty, so I thought I'd give them a try...and I was right! They are sooo good!

Pecan Pie Muffins
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cups softened butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat over to 350*. Grease a muffin pan (a miniature pan works best). 

Mix together the brown sugar, eggs and butter. 

I used margarine and it worked fine!

 Then add flour and nuts.

  Mix by hand, and then pour the mixture into the 

muffin pan until each muffin cup is 3/4 full.

  Bake 20-25 minutes for regular size muffins, less time for miniatures.

Made 30 miniatures.

 If you like pecan pie, you're going to love these muffins!

Happy Eating!
