Jolene's Recipe Journal

As soon as the Halloween decorations are down, I'm already plotting and planning my holiday baking.   I love poring over old family recipes and cookbooks, trying to choose that year's treats for our holiday gatherings.

I'm excited to be joining the Muffin Monday bakers again this month! Muffins are always a hit around here, but I tend to make the same varieties over and over.  I was browsing recipes for this month when I came across these Cranberry Sweet Potato Muffins from Taste of Home.

 These Roasted Parmesan Carrots are tender and lightly caramelized, tossed with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper, and finished with savory Parmesan for a simple, crowd-pleasing side dish.
