I enjoy tweaking my old recipes by substituting more wholesome ingredients and reducing the amount of sugar. I think you'll enjoy this apple cider version of pumpkin muffins as much as I do. Serve with cream cheese, if desired.

Spicy American Spanish Rice
Great Spanish rice as a main course meal. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes. Can be made less spicy using regular tomatoes.
Mint Julep Sweet Tea
This mint julep sweet tea is a refreshing, cool-me-down drink made with bourbon and sweet tea. I muddle 4 mint leaves in each glass for extra mint flavor. It's optional, but I think it really adds to the drink.
