New Recipe I tried last week:

My cousin shared one of these with me and I stole the recipe...SO yummy;

Zucchini Muffins

1 ½ c. spelt flour (+ ½ c if need more)

¾ c ground flax meal (I buy this at Costco by the spices)

¾ c oat bran

1 c brown sugar or 1 c regular splenda

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt (optional)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 c soy milk (or regular milk)

1 tsp vanilla

½ c canola oil

¼ to 1/2 c water (depending on consistency of batter)

1 T lemon zest (or orange)

Juice of one lemon

3 T honey

1 c shredded carrots

2 c shredded zucchini

Optional:

½ c raisins or blueberries

chopped walnuts

Mix flour, flax, oat bran, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon. Add milk, vanilla, oil and water. Add lemon zest, juice of lemon and honey. Mix. Stir in carrots, zucchini, raisins and chopped nuts. Fill muffins cups 2/3 full. Bake 350 for 20-25 minutes (or longer), inserting toothpick to determine. Refrigerate after cooling.

In the craft basket:
that baby blanket for the baby who's almost here (unless he snuck out already!)


Looking forward to:

Happy Homemaker Monday

Lesson learned the past few days:
Mom-tired produces almost nothing good....just good sleep. So sleep when you're tired, think, feel, teach, laugh and love when you're not.


On my Prayer List:

A friend who is due to have a first baby any day...
another friend who wants to have a baby.
