I do enjoy changes in each season.........So it's safe to say I'm a very seasonal kind of gal.
Cooking is one vehicle I like to express and introduce new flavors and smells of the season's change. I can't help myself !!! EEEEK!!! I just get inundated with new ideas and my mind conjures up different tastes and textures the new season brings. So PA-LEASE try cooking seasonal. I'm sure you'll find fun, new, and season-inspired recipes!!! Just have a look as to what foods/spices are in season and start there.:D:D:D:D
We made Pumpkin Maple muffins today..........and soon we're going to make Cranberry creamcheese muffins. Julia says we need to have a filling so we'll try to make a cranberry cream filling. I think I'll use that chunky cranberry sauce instead of dried or fresh cranberries and see how that goes. We also made Double Chocolate Chip muffins the other day, which is nothing new, but always a special treat!!! I'd LOVE to make Chocolate orange muffins veddy veddy soon!!!
If you find yourself gazing in the oven hypnotized by the sight and smell of your new formulation cooking, and as you pull the steam-enrobed delights out of the oven as the warm waves of spice envelope your face, and just then you remember, with sickening stomach, you have: NO MORE BUTTER!! (eery music plays) How often has that happened to us!!!WAAAHAAA If it were warmer weather, I'd certainly and most assuredly stuff the kids in the van, scramble through the faster supermarket (namely Save-On) and purchase the "beloved" butter. But now, in the colder weather, it takes so long to get everybody dressed in warm garb and the van comfortably heated (which MUST be warm before I step a toenail into her) that I have racked my brain thinking of alternatives (which are usually lesser in taste). So instead of butter we try to come up with some form compatible syrup to drizzle on the "nude" muffin and plate. Or some fashion of a crumble topping ( not just the normal cinnamon topping, but go for something like orange or lemon crumble).
So again be imaginative!!!!!

haha! You're so cute. It just had to be said.
We got your package. Thank-you sooooo much! My kids have come down with a doozy of a cold, so all of the stickers and colouring pages are coming in handy. We're saving the hot chocolate until the first morning that everybody is well again. The girls were elated to hear that it has no corn in it! Love ya
OH goodie, I'm so glad you got it. I was afeered that you were gonna be on your way to Idaho before it got to you.
WE'll be praying for you all. Beth and Pierce have certainly come down with a nasty cold, too. We stay away from sugar and a host of other things when sick. That's awesome you can save it as a reward for them. Be strong my Loves!!!! Coloring comes in handy!!! Love you guys!!
