Good friends, good food, and beautiful surroundings in which to knit. What more can a girl ask for?

Hunka and I wanted to get away for a little birthday celebration last month, so we spent a lovely weekend at The Liberty House Bed & Breakfast in Weiser, Idaho.

Here are some photos of the interior of the B&B — the owner has such a fabulous sense of style! This is a little vignette in one of the bathrooms:

The lovely library where I spent several heavenly hours knitting. You can see my project bag in the photo. Heh.

The kitchen…OH, the KITCHEN! I could easily live here. I wonder if Hunka would mind moving to Weiser…

Besides the relaxing weekend, we came away from The Liberty House with a recipe for the best mini-muffins ever.

Diane’s Pecan Breakfast Muffins

Preheat your oven to 350.

Mix these 4 ingredients together thoroughly:

1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

Add 1 cup of chopped pecans and stir until incorporated.

Spray a 24 spot mini-muffin tin with Pam and spoon the batter into the tin. Top each mini-muffin with a pecan half, if you like.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from the tin. Otherwise the bottom edges may stick.

These are truly amazing little bites of caramel-y goodness. Perfect with a hot cup of tea and your knitting project. Enjoy!
