                               It's a snow day!

Believe it or not - today is a snow day for most of the state of Georgia and I for one am going to embrace it - and bake snow day muffins.  

I realize that snow days wreak havoc on travel, school, work and child care schedules but since I work from home, I'm feel like I'm less impacted by bad weather.   I'm so thankful and grateful for all of the people who venture out in bad weather to keep me safe and warm in my house and I don't feel like they get enough recognition.  Because, while I have the luxury of working from home and spending my snow day cooking and baking, there are plenty of people who make the choice to go outside so that I can be comfortable.  I appreciate you.  ​

Instead of baking muffins for myself today - I made a batch of muffins to share with some of the people that I see working outside today.  

Todays snow day muffin is apple pumpkin.  A generous spoonful of cinnamon apple filling is a great addition to these pumpkin flavored muffins.  They really are a delightful treat - whether you're working inside or outside today.

And since they were snow day muffins - I couldn't resist putting them in the snow for pictures.  Turns out that temperatures in the teens, really set the glaze quickly.  Bonus.
