It will go good with the homemade Dinner Rolls I made yesterday afternoon!
It's such a great time of the year for so many reasons, one in particular is that it's the time that I get to indulge in my Joy... of baking! I go through a bit of withdrawal in the summer because it's just too hot to turn on the oven, but in the Fall I make up for lost time and enjoy every moment of it!
This morning I decided to make some Pumpkin Orange Muffins for my husband to have with his mid-morning coffee. I made a dozen yesterday afternoon, but they have quickly disappeared and I have plenty of pumpkin for another two dozen.
This particular recipe comes from The Joy of Cooking cookbook that was given to me as a wedding present (how could it be almost 30 years ago!)
Just yesterday a section of pages fell out and into the soapy water of the kitchen sink. I rinsed it off and hung it on the line to dry, the wind picked up quite a bit and its pages were flapping 'Joy' fully in the Autumn breeze. I'll never give this book away, but I think that perhaps I have now entered into a new season of life which beckons me to 'upgrade' into a newer and fuller Edition of Joy.
The muffins...
... seem to be a hit and the house smells YUMMY!
And even the few moments that it took to do these...
... became an act of Thanksgiving in the Light of the Bounty that I live in today.
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. (Colossians 3:17)
A joyful heart is good medicine! (Proverbs 17:22)
May you too, with thanksgiving, know the Joy in and of Today,
with love,
