((Intro

In an attempt to organize all my recipes and share them with fellow cooks and bakers, I've started a blog. Initially my recipes were a collection from friends, family, cookbooks, magazines and yes, even newspapers! Now many of my recently acquired recipes are adapted from blogs and cooking show websites.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that along the way you enjoy a few of my recipes and make them some of your favorites too!

Count the memories, not the calories!

Illinois Buttermilk Pecan Muffins

2/3 c. sugar
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg
1 lg. egg
2/3 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. butter, melted & cooled

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease twelve 2 to 2 1/2 inch muffin-pan cups. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda and spices in large bowl. Using wooden spoon or electric mixer, beat egg, buttermilk and melted butter to blend well. Stir buttermilk into flour mixture only until just blended. Quickly fold in nuts and raisins.
