"Randi--Raspberries and Creme Muffins"
My recipes are posted below, and they are two of our favorites that we make often. I hope you enjoy and find lots of wonderful new recipes!
Raspberries and Creme Muffins
Mix together these ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream or milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
Once combined, add these:
1-1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Now fold in:
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (you may substitute peaches, if you like)
Spoon the batter (it will be thicker than most muffin batters) into a greased muffin pan and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. One recipe makes 10 muffins. I generally double this recipe and freeze half.
These are wonderful for breakfast with a glass of milk and some fruit.
Spinach and Sun dried Tomato Couscous
***My daughter, Emily, created this recipe.
Couscous:
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup uncooked Couscous ***(I accidentally bought Rice Pilaf, so I used that without the seasoning packet)
Bring water, salt, and oil to a boil. Pour in couscous, stir quickly, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for five minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Spinach garnish:
2 cups thinly shredded fresh rinsed spinach (do not dry the spinach)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
1Tablespoon olive oil
3 stalks chopped green onion
2 gloves garlic, minced
While the couscous is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook until fragrant and slightly softened. Add in sun-dried tomatoes, and cook until warm. Quickly add in the wet spinach, and cook over low heat until wilted (be careful not to overcook or the spinach will become squishy).
Stir together the couscous onto a plate and spinach garnish. Sprinkle with a small amount of olive oil, and salt if desired.
This is a great main dish or side dish. You will be surprised at how much flavor there is in this dish!
Happy cooking!
