my sister posted about some delicious muffins that she made last weekend and i thought i'd do the same. this past weekend i made some of the yummiest muffins i've ever made, with the help of R's mom (they were out here visiting). i did take some pictures with the cellphone, but they're kinda blurry, not worth posting. and they cannot compare to the beautiful picture in the previous post. but watch out! these are healthy muffins!! (and R still liked them!)
MORNING GLORY MUFFINS (this is from the simonhouse cookbook)
2 C all-purpose flour
1 1/4 C white sugar (i did 3/4 C and they were just fine)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon (okay i did like 3 or 4 tsp because i LOVE cinnamon!)
1/2 tsp salt
(i also added 1/8 tsp nutmeg and next time i'll add more. i LOVE cinnamon and nutmeg!)
2 C grated carrots
1/2 C raisins
1/2 C nuts
1/2 C coconut (which i skipped)
1 apple, diced
3 eggs
1 C oil (canola oil!)
2 tsp vanilla
in a large bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. stir in the next 5 ingredients. in a bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla. stir into flour mixture until batter is just combined. spoon into muffin cups, filling almost to the top. bake at 350 for 17 minutes. makes 1.5-2 dozen.
so moist and yummy and delicious!!
now speaking of recipes, i'm in need of some help. we're having a potluck dinner for R's staff Christmas party, and we're supposed to bring our favorite international dish. (but not too 'americanized' ie. pizza). well, all the 'international' stuff that i make i think is pretty 'americanized', or it's too much work (ie. i make a mean enchilida), so i'm kind of stumped. any ideas for me?
also, due to the outlandish number of potlucks and gift exchanges i'm involved in this Christmas, i'd like to keep the cost down... so no meat dishes i guess. have any ideas??

I have a great peanut chicken recipe if you want it.
sure! you can email me at elfgirland4eyes@gmail.com.
Ooo, I need to buy some raisins, but I have everything else for this recipe! I should try that.
Hmm. Lasagna is italian?
You could make Pad Thai! You can buy jars of pad thai sauce at the grocery store in the "ethnic food" aisle, and grab a package of flat rice noodles that should be in the same aisle. The noodles are usually $2 a package, and the sauce is around $4-7 (the small jar goes a long way because it just coats everything). You'll want to slice up a red pepper, and maybe throw in some sprouts or something, but you should be able to make a pretty large pot for $10-$12.
Similarly, Pataks makes fantastic curry sauces, if you wanted to make an Indian dish. Chop up an onion and a pepper, some chicken if you want, add the sauce. Make some rice, and pouf!
I like Pataks and Thai Kitchen. They make me feel like a good cook. Mwahahah!
