    Happy first day of fall! With temps still in the 90’s it doesn’t quite feel like it in Texas yet, but hopefully that will change soon. I think we can all agree that pumpkin has become the star of fall. You can literally find pumpkin flavored anything nowadays! A lot of autumn produce gets overlooked, like apples and pears, in the rush for pumpkin-spiced everything.

    Pear and Sour Cream Muffins

    This month’s Recipe Redux theme was “First Cooking Recollections”.  I started off in the kitchen learning how to bake. From a very young age, I would peer over the kitchen counter to help my mom. My favorite thing to make back then was chocolate chip cookies, not much has changed ;). In homage to my early start in the kitchen baking I decided to makeover a fall muffin recipe – Pear and Sour Cream Muffins.

    These Pear and Sour Cream muffins feature diced pears, cinnamon and vanilla. I omitted the streusel topping to reduce total calories, fat and added sugars. I substituted whole-wheat flour to add fiber and used light sour cream to reduce saturated fat. The result is better than the original recipe!  Almost too decadent for breakfast!
