March Momma muffins

My own concocted recipe
for super packed with goodness muffins
that you can happily eat even
if you have gestational or other. .diabetes.

they are inDEED time consuming and
quite the bit of work. .but
well worth it and if you make a double batch
like i do, they freeze perfectly and warm to perfection
at about 40 seconds in the microwave.


this makes 24 normal sized muffins

in food processor grate

1 large carrot
1 large apple
1 pear ( or another apple )

once grated switch to sharp blade
and grind all up really well
pour into large bowl

grind up 1 large banana and 1 cup of drained
pineapple
add to other fruit mixture

now all these things together need to add up to 3 -3 1/2 cups of goodness
if you need to add more just mash up more banana or add another apple. . etc.

i grind up a handful of pecans or walnuts and throw that in

whisk in med bowl
4 eggs
1/2 cup veg oil
1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup splenda ( sugar if you don't like artificial sweeteners )

mix into the fruit mash

whisk in separate bowl
all the dry

1 1/4 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c 6 grain flour ( or some other grain of your choice )
1/2 cup white flour
1/4 c flax seed meal ( can also use wheat germ or other )
2 tsp b soda
2 tsp b powder
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 fresh nutmeg ball grated in ( or approx 1 tbsp nutmeg )
1/4 tsp salt

mix dry gently into wet till all combined

fill 24 cupcake papers about 3/4 full

bake at 350 for about 20 -23 min
or till toothpick comes out clean

cool on rack till room temp and then store / freeze

i grind all up to mash because of my three year old son who likes things more plain. . but i do prefer more chunky
which you can do by not grinding all the fruits up so much if you prefer.
also golden raisins or other similar things are
delish in this recipe.


happy baking :)

L o v e is . . .

me and little were at it again
all afternoon.. . turning out
many many pink
hearts for valentine gifties.
although somewhat time consuming
these came out extra adorable.
:)
happy L O V E day everyone.

Martha's Marshmallows

our project for the day. . making
Martha Stewart's homemade
marshmallows. I've made
these many times now and they
always come out AMAZING.
i add an extra teaspoon or so of
vanilla but i do that with pretty much every
recipe that calls for it. :)

So worth the work
after i had already poured them
i thought to make them in
heart shapes for valentines. . so i will
be making them AGAIN. :)

LOVES!

it's cold outside.
staying warm by the fire

delicious quick apple syrup

slice any kind of apple
into 1/4 inch slices

saute in skillet with
a tablespoon or so of butter
for about 4 minutes. . till apples
softened a bit

add about 1/3 c maple
syrup and 1/4 tsp
cinnamon

let simmer till thickens to
your liking.

sooooooooooo good.

first of many. . . cooookies

already thinking of all the baking to be done
sooner then later for the holidays. the last
few years i've been getting all sorts of things made well ahead of
the twelve days of Christmas and a few things
before Thanksgiving. Everything gets packaged up
into containers and labeled for quick
selection for many a assorted plate of goodies
on cold fall and winter nights.

started out with some gingerbread today. . a household
favorite for snacking on with a spot of tea. :)
