Author: I’ve finally made it back! I’m not sure if everyone had to register again and receive a new password or not, but I did. I hope everyone has had a nice long weekend. These muffins are so good and not so hard on the waistline.

*Thank you JB!
Hi Sherry! Great minds must think alike. I was just looking at a gingerbread muffin recipe this morning. But your recipe sounds a lot healthier than mine, with it’s 2 sticks of butter, 4 eggs and a cup of sugar.
I hope people will get used to the new board and start posting. I really enjoy reading what everyone’s cooking/eating.
Are you going to start the “what new recipes have you tried this month” thread? That’s not the exact wording, but I think you get my gist. I hope so as it was one of my favorites.
*Hi Patti, We just had the muffins again this morning at a meeting. They really are good. Of course, I think a big glob of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream would be great with them too…but not necessary at all. They were more moist last time, but that’s a matter of how long they are baked. Play that one by ear. 18 minutes was good and moist but that depends on each individual oven too. Sure, I will start the monthly cooking thread. It took me forever to have the time to sit down and figure out why I couldn’t get it here. After reading, I see that JB told us we would have to get the new password. That only took a couple of minutes once I got to it. Hope the muffins work out well for you too.
*I wonder, patti43, if you would also post your recipe?
*Agree with Paula,,,,Patti, if you find the time, we really would be interested in your muffin recipe..Thank you!
