Here is a recipe I found to copy their various muffin flavors. RBH<br /><br />Found on the net and posted so that it will be easier to find when folks ask for the recipe! Prep times are guess-timates.<br />SERVES 24 (change servings and units) <br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />1 (18 ounce) box cake mix, package (Duncan Hines is the best) <br /><br />2 tablespoons flour <br />3 eggs <br />2/3 cup milk <br />1/3 cup vegetable oil <br />1 teaspoon baking powder <br /><br />Directions<br />Mix all ingredients together. <br />Spoon into prepared muffin cups. <br />Bake at 375 for approximately 20 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. <br />For ALMOND POPPYSEED MUFFINS: use a white cake mix, add 2 teaspoons poppyseeds, and 1 tsp almond extract. <br />FOR CHOCOLATE MUFFINS: use a chocolate cake mix and stir in 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips. <br />Create your own: use whatever flavor cake mix you want and add your own goodies. <br />Other suggestions:. <br /> French vanilla cake mix and fresh raspberries. <br /> Lemon cake mix and poppyseed. <br /> Spice cake mix with cinnamon/sugar topping.kamikazernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03048090994221266054noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101821630655530150.post-79333730117466895032009-09-30T12:09:00.000-07:002009-09-30T12:16:55.235-07:00Renée's Thermonuclear Salsa4 roasted jalanepenos gutted & chopped OR 7-8 crumbled pequin or tepin chilis<br />28 oz can crushed tomatoes<br />2 - 28 oz cans diced tomatoes<br />3 7oz cans chopped green chilis<br />3 tablespoons minced garlic<br />1 can chipolte peppers<br />cilantro to taste<br />garlic salt to taste<br />liquid smoke to taste<br />3 tablespoons vinegar<br />tomato sauce to taste if needed to cut the heat<br /><br />If using pequin or tepin chilis - crumble them in blender and put in bowl.

We have been using the turkey pretty well this week. I made turkey enchiladas. ( The ladies I work with call them gringa enchiladas.) I usually don't roll them but I had small flour tortillas and rolled the turkey, cream of chicken soup, milk, green chilis and cheese and put goo on the top. They were great. I also made turkey alfredo pasta. It would have been great but I used wierd bow tie pasta and it just didn't taste that good. If you have some recipes to help me use the rest of the turkey just post it girls!<br />Love, MomLonly Mom/Grandmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17732963643155502776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101821630655530150.post-1917766160556425082009-03-19T14:49:00.000-07:002009-03-19T15:00:45.244-07:00Just when I thought I couldn't love my crockpot any more...On Sunday a lady at church was giving away pinto beans, so I took a bag to see what I could do with them. After the Thanksgiving 2007 incident (you all remember, Andrew <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Cobabe</span> tried to do Meredith in, by telling her to release a nozzle to get some pressure out and it exploded!) I am terrified of pressure cookers so I thought <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">refried</span> beans were out of the question. I looked it up online just to see and I found the EASIEST and TASTIEST <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">refried</span> bean recipe ever!!!<br /><br />3 cups pinto beans, rinsed<br />9 cups water<br />season to taste, here is what I used: I can diced green chili's, garlic salt, ground cumin, and chili powder.<br /><br />Cook on high for 8 hours. Drain beans and reserve liquid. Beat beans on low with a hand mixer adding liquid to achieve desired texture. Serves 15.

I made my Easy Cheesy Soup. It was a hit. Here's the recipe.<br /><br />3 or 4 potatoes--baked and diced ahead of time. I do these in the microwave.<br /><br />Put potatoes, one can cream of chicken soup, one can cheddar cheese soup, half a big hunk of velveeta (diced), two bags of california mix frozen vegetables with a couple of squares of chicken bullion all in a big crock pot. Add a little water (1 cup or so) over the mix. Put on high for just a couple of hours and it's hot and delicious.<br /><br />I was rainy and cold today so it was the perfect dish.<br /><br />Happy eating, MomLonly Mom/Grandmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17732963643155502776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101821630655530150.post-21948774205411252332009-03-04T12:28:00.000-08:002009-03-04T12:36:24.761-08:00Quick Pioneer StewI tried this stew at a stake women's conference last weekend.

To get it to rise faster, put dough in oven on preheat just until warm with a pan of boiling water, then turn the oven off ; you want it to get to about 80*</div>Ham N Cheesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16859618767650636654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101821630655530150.post-56805771409842598842009-02-06T16:11:00.001-08:002009-02-06T16:14:24.961-08:00Garlic Chicken2 tsp. minced garlic<br />1/4 cup olive oil<br />1/4 cup dry bread crumbs<br />1/4 cup <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Parmesan</span> cheese<br />4 boneless skinless chicken breasts<br /><br />Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
