Apple Pecan Muffins


I have been making lots of apple juice so I have had lots of apple pulp leftover. I have made several dozen muffins and a cake. They really taste like fall. 

 1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup flour
1 cup shredded apples (I use the leftover pulp)
1/2 cup pecans

 Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla. Add all the dry ingredients. When mixed well add the apples and nuts. 

 One batch makes 12 muffins that I cook for 30 minutes or a cake that I cook for 40 minutes. We sprinkle with confectionery sugar before serving. 

 Enjoy!

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild.

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
