Orange Pecan Muffins


I have a new found love for muffins. They are relatively simple to make and can pack a lot of flavor in a single bite.

I recently tried out a few new recipes. An Italian Sausage muffin and Orange Pecan muffins. The Italian Sausage muffins were awesome! They are made with, of course, Italian Sausage and spaghetti sauce. I always associated muffins with breakfast, but these made a good lunch. Katie suggested we eat them with some tomato soup next time. Something to definitely look forward to!

The Orange Pecan Muffins are my new favorite. They would make a good breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, ice cream topper, picnic treat, you get the point.

The zest of an orange goes into twelve of these pieces of heaven making each bite ultra refreshing. Right when they come out of the oven, you brush fresh squeezed orange juice on each muffin top then sprinkle with granulated sugar. Katie thought a little more orange zest wouldn't hurt and I agree. Orange is a fantastic flavor, especially in pastries and baked goods.

ok, I have a really dumb question but I've been thinking about it all day long. I think somewhere your blog and general conference got mixed in my mind which caused me to start wondering which apostle would I have over for dinner and what would I serve...? And then I started wondering what you would say. I still don't have an answer yet, but I'm just curious what your answer would be. You can humor me or not. I know, I'm totally lame.
