A fall Friday...

It is a beautiful southern fall Friday.  It is a day full of possibilities - most of them having to do with cuddling with my grandchildren. Nanna will be perfectly content!
Family time means yummy food.  We are eating healthier these days but will splurge in little ways during holidays. One of our favorite special occasion muffin recipes came from Taste of Home.


Today's Recipe - Sunshine Muffins


1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
(Note: for gluten free muffins use GF flour)
1 2/3 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 tablespoon orange marmalade (I use peach or apricot jam)
1/2 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Add remaining ingredients; stir just until moistened (batter may be lumpy).  Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full.  Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes or until top of muffin springs back when lightly touched.  Makes 15-18 muffins.

Have a blessed weekend!
