Caramel Pecan Spice Muffins
How was your weather this weekend?  Did it feel like Fall where you live?  Because it finally did down here in Louisiana!!  Hello October!!  Whoop Whoop!  It was absolutely GORGEOUS!  I just felt like I needed to be outside enjoying it.  I wish we could have Fall and Spring all the time.

Something about the crisp air makes me want all those comfort foods too!  These spice muffins  are perfect for this time of year!  Make a batch and take them to your co-workers or treat your kids.  Either way, everyone will enjoy them!

    The weather has totally changed and gotten quite chilly. However, these muffins and a cup of coffee would be perfect!

    Congrats on your SNF feature! It’s easy to see it was well-deserved. =) I really wish it felt like fall for me, but I’m just having to make fall foods like your muffins and pretend.
