Snow days
We have had several weeks of frigid temperatures here in VA and I am starting to be ready for spring (already!). However, we were graced with several inches of snow on Wednesday. It came down fast and was beautiful!

Applesauce Cinnamon Muffins
I'd like to share this delicious creation that I learned from my Mom. We used to eat these muffins (probably) weekly when I was young, and I always remember having a Tupperware bowl of left over batter in the fridge waiting to be cooked. They taste just as good now as they did then!
2 sticks margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups flour
1 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp allspice
3 tsp cinnamon
1 (1 lb) can applesauce
2 tsp soda
Cream together the margarine, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix together and add flour, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon to the preceding. Combine the applesauce and soda and add last (mix using a wooden spoon). Mix well. Fill greased muffin tins 1/2 full. Bake at 400* for 18-20 minutes. Serve hot with butter or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Batter stores indefinitely, can store in a covered container in refrigerator. Makes 2.5-3 dozen muffins. (I usually make a half recipe because it makes plenty!)
Enjoy :)

Birthdays and girlfriends
I spent a wonderful weekend in Fredericksburg hanging out with my girl friends, catching up on things around the house, and celebrating my birthday! It was perfect!
Several of us braved the chilly temperatures to attend the Annual Fredericksburg Christmas Parade-the floats where pretty cool and the performers were great.
My girl friends and I had a wonderful dinner at Poppy Hill Tuscan Kitchen. I had the 'Sunday Gravy'; Italian sausage, pork, and meatballs simmered in marinara sauce for 6 hours and served over Tagliatelle pasta. We then went back to their house for drinks and Funfetti cupcakes. It was awesome! :)
Thanks for a great birthday, ladies! I am so thankful to have you all in my new life here! :)
