- The Pecan Pie muffins* that went to work with me yesterday as a thank you treat to co-workers. The recipe came from a nice lady in Cantonment, Florida, who made them for niece Abby's bridal shower last month and kindly shared the recipe. They were a hit at the printing company, too. - The Stone Mountain Highland Games are coming up next month and I do an annual mail-out to summon the southeastern members of Clan Maxwell to the games. Mentioning to my boss that I was going to stay late at the office to stuff, label and stamp, she surveyed what I was doing, summoned two co-workers and the four of us knocked it out in 20 minutes. So touched by the kind hands and speedy assistance that the least I can do is bake.
- A special thank you to friend Leisa who did the address labels for me and even supplied the labels. It takes a village to help Lynn! :)
*PECAN PIE MUFFINS
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
Combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl; make a well in the center of mixture. Beat eggs until foamy. Stir together eggs and butter; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Place baking cups in muffin pans and coat with cooking spray; spoon batter into cups, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
This recipe makes about 2 dozen muffins if you use the mini-muffins tins as I did. If you do that, bake just 15 minutes.

That was so very nice of them!! And those muffins do look delicious!!
Wonderful co-workers you have, Lynn! And you too - are wonderful, just like your baking!
I love the versatility of muffins. They look scrumptious, Lynn!
Many hands do make light work and what terrific co-workers you have!
Sounds like the Maxwell Clan is going to have a blast!~
How cool that everyone helped out like that.
I really could eat at least one of those muffins right now!
No one bakes in our family, and that is something I miss. My mother is a fantastic cook.
I have decided that under the guise of your sweet and lovely blog, you are truly *evil* for posting all these sweets! Seriously, thanks for the recipe - Mr. RK loves pecans and he will love this, if I manage not to burn it.
Wow the muffins seems to be so tasty !! I loved this post..Unseen Rajasthan
Muffins yesterday and now today too! I'm going to gain 10 pounds from this blog! ;)

They were scrumptious - and my co-workers are very supportive. Clan Maxwell will have a blast and you know there will be blogging about the gathering. :)

I didn't get the baking gene - although I am a good cook in general. But these were incredibly easy to make. Wish I could share with you!
Riot Kitty -

The calls and emails from Clan members are coming in fast and furiously.
Those muffins are easy to make and if you do the mini-muffins, you do end up with a bucket of them. :) They were a hit!
Ahh, today is my last full day, I will be on a plane about 3pm sunday. I really don't want to leave, but I suppose I must, if I stil want my job to be there. :)
