While my friends and I were in Houston recently, we “discovered” pistachio muffins. Oh my! They were so <\/i>good! Unfortunately, Phyl and I were only able to get one each, and we’ve been drooling over the memory ever since. Phyl decided to do a Google search for recipes, and here you can see the results of the first one I tried. Or \u2014 most of the results, at least. My husband and I had to sample them, of course, and they’re pretty darned tasty, though not quite as I’d remembered. If you’re interested, the recipe is on the King Arthur web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
