Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze

Blueberries and lemons are a great combination! I found this recipe (and made a few minor changes) at www.mybakingaddiction.com.  I served them warm...and yes, they are so YUMMY! 
Ingredients:
zest of 2 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 cup milk
1 1/3 cups fresh blueberries
Glaze:
3 T unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 325F, line muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, mix lemon zest and sugars together.
  • I used a stand mixer with a paddle attachment and creamed together the sugars, butter, oil then added the eggs and vanilla, until all ingredients were mixed.
  • Add flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to your butter, eggs, and sugars dough. 
  • Make sure everything is combined then add your blueberries and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • I used a cookie dough scoop to spoon the batter into the muffin liners, fill them close to the top.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until they are pale golden brown.
  • Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth.
  • When the muffins have cooled slightly, dip the muffin crown into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. You can dip them twice if you want (you already know I did!!)
  • Serve warm or cool on a rack and store in an airtight container. I would store them in the refrigerator if you're not going to serve them within a day.  I also froze some of mine. Makes 18 muffins.
Love and peace,

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly add the mixture to the egg and milk an...

Grilled Orange Roughy

My favorite food choices are often related to family memories, so I wanted to share one of our favorite grilled fish recipes. Our Dad used to take us fishing and we grew up eating the fish we caught ourselves. Then came the time when we had to start buying fish, I searched for types of fish that didn't taste too "fishy". It's hard to accomplish that in the Midwest, we don't always have many choices. We were introduced to orange roughy during a trip to San Diego where my great-uncle treated us to some of the most wonderful seafood we had ever eaten at an establishment called Anthony's. It was the first time we had eaten orange roughy and it was white, flaky and not too fishy tasting. After a few experiments, this is my favorite method to prepare it at home. Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers! Ingredients: 4 orange roughy fillets 1/4 c fresh cilantro, I use a small handful * if you are not a cilantro fan use fresh dill, about 1/4 c chopped 2 tsp garlic powder o...

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar...
