Butternut Squash Muffins

These butternut squash muffins remind me of carrot cake or zucchini bread, so sweet, dense, and moist. 


These butternut squash muffins are loaded with grated butternut squash, and are flavored with cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans. They are drizzled with a very grown up vanilla, citrus zest, and sour cream topping when served.

These Espresso Meringue Cookies were a big hit with my grandsons, who had never tried anything with coffee flavoring. Everyone else in the family loved them too. In fact, these cookies didn't last very long in our house, and, unlike most sweets I make, never made it to work.
