Please join me for a cup of Vanilla Chai Tea and a Tiny Pecan Muffin. The beautiful hydrangeas were gifted to me from my youngest daughter-in-law. Aren't they pretty? I have them in my teakettle that my son, Mike painted for me. The plaid plate is from Pier 1. The pretty framed picture is from Jenna from The Painted Apron , that she painted and made into note cards. I just love it!
My teacup is from Grace's teaware, and found at HomeGoods.
Cissy chose that we make the Tiny Pecan Muffins this week, when I told her that they taste like pecan pie. Pecan Pie is her favorite (mine, too!).
Yield: 3 dozen
Tiny Pecan Muffins
These little gems taste like pecan pie, and are perfect bite-sized morsels.
ingredients:
1/2 cup self-rising flour (I used 1/2 cup all purpose flour + 1/4 t. salt +3/4 t. baking powder)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
2 eggs, beaten
instructions:
Mix all ingredients.
Bake in greased (I used Baker's Joy) miniature muffin tins @ 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Do not bake longer than 15 minutes.
NOTES:
You can line the muffin tins with mini paper liners, but be sure to spray the liner. My muffin tin is nonstick and the muffins came out just fine.
My son, Mike, created this pumpkin on my piggy blackboard for Fall.
My grandson, Connor, turned 18 this past week!
My grandson, Riley, turned 15, yesterday!
Thank you for your visit! xo
I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
I love that the muffin recipe is a little more scaled down Kitty! Have a great week:@)
ReplyDeleteKitty your tablescape is fabulous. Love all the pretty black and white accents, the plaid plate, the pretty teacup and saucer, the pot in which the gorgeous white Hydrangea is resting and the sweet little framed picture......all are singing a jazzy song sitting on the check tablecloth! Happy birthday to the both of your grandsons and as always Cissy looks as if she is enjoying cooking up a storm in your kitchen. Love too, the pumpkin your son drew on the chalkboard....how clever. Do you know why I love Mondays....I get to visit your lovely place, dear Kitty♥
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your grands Kitty, what handsome young men they are growing up to be! Your muffins sound delicious and I love seeing Cissy's smile. Your pretty black and white checks are so pretty together, your son Mike is quite the artiste! ♥
ReplyDeleteYUM on those muffins! I just printed the recipe! Marty loves pecan pies so I bet he would love these. Would go well with his coffee in the mornings on his way to work. Look at those handsome grandsons! I have just one grandson as you know Kitty and we spell his name with er. Conner. If he was given our daughter's maiden name. Of course since he is our only grandson you know we love his name! And him.....Love the pictures. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThose muffins are really mouthwatering...I love your exquisite teacup!!!Gorgeous table!Happy Birthday to the Grands.Hugs to Cissy and you!
ReplyDeleteOOOOOHHHH! I have to try those! Pecan Pie is MY favorite too! Beautiful pics of the grands . .. a handsome pair of young men!
ReplyDeleteRiley must belong to Cissy because they look a lot alike. Handsome boys those grandsons! Pecan pie is my favorite as well so I am sure that I’d enjoy the muffins you and Cissy baked this week. What an elegant tea table!
ReplyDeleteYour black and white plaid tea time is giving serious Mackenzie-Childs vibes. I'm loving your Gracie China teacup because it features my favourite things: black and gold and polka dots. Your tiny pecan muffins are so cute. Also cute are your grandkids. Happy Belated Birthday to the teenage grandsons!
ReplyDeleteI love that your son paints and is creative. Your grandchildren all look so happy. It’s wonderful that you bake with your granddaughter each week. The muffins look so good and thanks for sharing this recipe at Cooking and Crafting with J&J.

Kitty, I love the arrangement with this week's dessert! The checks (of course!) have me smiling, but the femininely delicate pattern on the tea cup/saucer is so nice. Can't believe your grandsons are 18 and 15! I hope they each had great birthdays - one now an adult, the other able to drive - yikes! Put some books on Cissy's head so she doesn't grow up! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty, Hope you are doing well, thinking about you since you returned home. Thoughts and prayers continue. What a lovely table for your tea, so pretty. Yes, Jenna is so talented, I love her art! Such a pretty black and white theme, love the kettle. The mini pecan pies sound delicious and I must make this recipe, we love pecan pie here. I have a recipe for French pecan minis, really good too. I love to make them for Christmas. Wow, your grands are so grown up, especially Connor. My Connor is ten now. Tell Cissy she is always such a charming cutie!
ReplyDeleteI just love all of the lovely black & white checks and your beautiful teacup matches so well. The mini pecan muffins look scrumptious...I can almost taste them now! You surely do have some handsome grandsons...Happy Birthday to them again...and enjoy your week, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your two handsome grandsons! The muffins look wonderful, and I love that they don't require white refined sugar. Thanks for sharing! Praying for you today. :)
ReplyDeleteKitty, I hope this comment sticks. I've had such problems with Blogger lately. Those are such adorable tiny pecan muffins. I think I'd need to eat six, thank you very much!!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of birthdays this month. Happy Birthday to your handsome grandsons! Those pecan muffins sound so good. I love pecan pie; one of the very few desserts that I like nuts in. The teacup looks very attractive with your pretty checked items. Have a happy day, dear Kitty. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm just loving your black and white theme. The white hydrangeas look so pretty in your checked tea kettle and your china cup is exquisite. Jenna's picture looks so pretty framed and accents your table well.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoyable to see your grands and hear about what they are doing. Happy Birthday to the guys.
Your pecan muffins made me nostalgic about my mother-in-law. That recipe was one of her favorites.
