Sour Cream-Butter Muffins

Posted by Lori:

A few weeks ago I made this little muffins when ham and roasted potatoes were on the menu.  My family really liked the muffins, but I'll warn you - they are very rich tasting!  We cut some in half and placed a slice of ham in the middle, making a little sandwich.  I think that they would be great for brunches and showers.

I don't use fresh herbs much and didn't have dried chives.  I used dried parsley and it worked just fine.  I used 1 tablespoon of the dried herb, instead of 2 tablespoons of the fresh variety. You might prefer more.

Sour Cream-Butter Muffins

2 1/2 cups Bisquick mix (I used the same amount of this homemade baking mix recipe)

3/4  cup butter, melted

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 container (8oz.) sour cream

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.  In large bowl, mix all ingredients just until moistened.  Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling almost to top.  Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool 2 minutes; remove muffins from pans.  Serve warm.

Chocolate Butterflies

For our annual PTO Fall Festival, one of the moms brought these adorable cupcakes!  Of course they were a big hit in our concession stand.

I found this website that tells how to make the chocolate butterflies, in case any of you are interested: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Chocolate-Butterflies/

Orange Creamsicle Drink

Posted by Lori:

A few weeks ago I made this beverage for my daughter's junior class.  It isn't the kind of thing that everyone is going to like.  In fact, I think in their class of about 20, only half of them liked it.  It was the same ratio in my family.  I liked it, so I'm posting it for you!

For a special presentation of the drink, I bought inexpensive 8 ounce water bottles and used the water from them to make the drink.  After that I refilled the empty bottles with the drink and made decorative labels for them.  A cute and inexpensive presentation idea!


Orange Creamsicle Drink


In a clean jar with a matching lid, mix one part Tang, one part powdered milk, and two parts instant vanilla pudding. Stir thoroughly and then put two heaping tablespoons of the mix into an 8 ounces of water.

If you're trying to cut back on calories or eat healthier, this is a great sandwich to include on your menu. It's so simple, but one of my favorites. I think I could eat it once a day and not get tired of it.

Sandwich Wrap

4 hard boiled eggs
4 tsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Whole-wheat wrap bread
Bell pepper, cut into strips
Red onion
Lettuce

Combine the eggs, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. Spread the egg mixture in the middle of the wrap. Top with the vegetables. Fold into a sandwich wrap.

Very good!!!!

Fun at Canton Trade Days

Posted by Lori:

The ladies on my husband's side of the family took a weekend road trip to Canton, TX.  For more about our trip, you can read my post on my devotional blog HERE.  On this post, I thought I would show you some of my purchases....just in case you're thinking about heading to Canton Trade Days!

I was so excited to get these two bottles of Mexican Vanilla!  I had just run out of vanilla and these two bottles will last me quite a while.  $10.00 each - not too bad!

Yummy Garlic Salsa...  I bought this variety because the garlic taste was just great.  Too bad I'm the only one in my family that really likes garlic (ha ha!)

I'm excited to hang this sign up in my home.  Not sure where it's going yet, but I'm looking forward to it being there.  I love the message.

Black and gold deco mesh.....This is for our high school graduation decor.  I'm always looking for new things to use for the decorations and this new width will be perfect!

A rickety, old ladder....  Not sure yet what I'll do with it.  Maybe put it in my new laundry room when our remodel is done?  Maybe put it in my Serendipity booth inside of an antique mall?  Not sure, but I liked it!

Our youngest's teacher moved from 1st grade to 3rd grade this year.  I remember her having a 1st grade rocks shirt.  Now she'll have the 3rd grade shirt!  He was going to give it to her this morning as an early birthday present.

My "big" purchase it this old Sears bicycle.  It's going in the yard for decoration, though the man said with new tires it would be perfectly ride-able.  The baskets in the back will be perfect for flowers, don't you think?
I will post more pictures from Canton later this week.  Lots and lots of STUFF there!  Anything from old to new, from junky to exquisite.  Amazing place! Fun memories of family togetherness!
