Florence's Peach Muffins
"This had been my Mom's recipe. I've been making these for decades because they taste good; however since they are dairy free ( due to World War II rationing), that should make them healthful as well. I always make these during peach season, however, there's no need to wait until then, frozen or canned peaches work well too. A cooking note: If you're seriously watching cholesterol levels, you can make these with just one egg, and they taste just as good, however the muffins will tend to be a tad crumbly."

I live in a wooded hillside area of Los Angeles where it feels like being out in the country. I grew up in Rhode Island, and came to LA after graduating from URI. I recently retired from my job as an environmental specialist. So now I have time to collect internet recipes. My hobbies & interests are aquatics, shell collecting, my cats, feeding stray cats, home improvement projects and cooking.
I love to travel and, years ago, lived in Mexico for several months. My favorite cookbooks are the ones written by Diana Kennedy; they are all great; and I have them all, some signed by her when I was enrolled in her cooking classes. I have a lot of cookbooks; some of my other fave authors and their books are: Madhur Jaffrey (especially World Vegetarian, World of East Vegetarian Cooking and A Taste of the Far East), Faye Levy, Martha Rose Shulman (especially Mediterranean Light, Provencal Light and Mexican Light) and Paula Wolfert.
