    Thanksgiving Squash Muffins

    2009-10-22

    I can’t remember if I made these with pumpkin or another kind of squash. But from reading several recipes recently, I knew to avoid acorn squash which are stringy and watery. To embellish these muffins, I added chocolate chips to the batter, and walnuts on top. Dr. S loved the...
