We have finally gotten our winter weather! I love the snow, and I've missed it terribly, so when I woke up to the beautiful snowfall last weekend, I decided to make the most of it and bake my way to a holiday-smelling morning.
These are gingerbread muffins, and they are the most melt-in-your-mouth muffins I've ever baked. And guess what. They're gluten-free, and if I you ate one and I didn't tell you that, you'd never know it. 🙂
Here's what it looked like outside my kitchen window…
And here are the trees that line the street behind our house…
I went into the living room and pulled the curtains back for sweet Tilly…
She loves to sit on the back of my couch and look outside. I took this photo right after I took the one above, since I was standing directly over her…
And to make it even more of a holiday, Miss Jill Rensel sent back my framed Bringing Home the Tree by Pineberry Lane!
I love that etched moulding!
I can't get Ella Fitzgerald's White Christmas out of my head.
I love this weather!

Oh how beautiful — all around from the winter to the framing, just beautiful. Now I *really* wish it weren’t nearly 80 outside here today, and I wish even more fervently that I had basket of gingerbread muffins!

Yay for snow! Those muffins look very yummy – I’m sure it’s all nice and cozy at your house with the smell of baking and the hush of the snow outside. And I love love love the frame for your Pineberry. Now I have to have one too…oh wait, better stitch something to frame first, huh?

Your stitched piece is wonderful, love the frame, it compliments it beautifully. I know what you mean about the snow, we had only an inch but it was the kind that sticks to everything, a picture perfect day.
Those muffins sounds yummy, would you mind sharing the recipe?
Thanks Pam

So nice to see your post! Isn’t the snow beautiful! I love winter! The muffins look yummy, would you consider sharing the receipe? Makes me want to pour a nice “cuppa” and have a muffin, watch it snow, and stitch the day away! Alas, back to my pile of laundry!

Aaaahm, the muffins look fabulous, but where is the recipe???? Adam would probably love it. I made him gluten-free tiramisu yesterday. His eyes just about popped out of his head, he was so happy.
I love how Jill framed your sweet Bringing Home the Tree – its darling. I wish we would get some decent snow – it keeps trickling down from the heavens, but its nothing to write home about. All we get is bonebreaking cold. 🙁 Love the pics – I am a wee bit jealous. Oh, and saw your new releases – love the peacocks!!! Brother’s Keeper is a stunner!! Time to stop writing a novel. Have a great weekend.
