Peaches and Cream Muffins are oh so good...


Muffins.... Do you know how many muffins there are? Tons... and they are so good. One of my favorite things to eat are muffins. I search for new recipes all the time. They are simple to make and wrap individually for a quick breakfast. They are always welcomed by neighbors as little tokens of kindness. I never have had anyone turn down muffins. When Taylor was in the hospital for that year (nearly a year) and I was raising money to take our family to a Southern California vacation for him when he got out... I would hold bake sales at work... where most of the money came from. Muffins were one of the best sellers. They are loved by many.

I recently ran across a new recipe from a fellow blogger at Never Enough Thyme. Her recipe was for Peaches and Cream muffins. PERFECT. I love peaches... and it sounded interesting, so I prepared them for a potluck I was going to. They were a hit. They were moist and wonderful. I actually doubled the recipe which you can find here... Peaches and Cream Muffins (check out her recipes. They will not disappoint you.) When I doubled the recipe... instead of doubling the sour cream, I actually used a container of peach yogurt. It tasted good as well. I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the batter to make it a little bit like a peach cobbler flavor.

Here is the recipe. Again, please go and visit her. I have her added as a favorite and am following her yumminess. The reason you don't see muffin papers on my muffins is I used a Demarle baking piece that you don't have to, they just slip out. I don't sell for them... just love their products.

Easy Cheddar Biscuits and ohhhh so good....


I was a bit skeptical to try these. They looked simply too easy to be good. Kind of the too good to be true scenario. Well these are fantastic. I got this from a blog hop, the sites name was called Talking Dollars and Cents. I hope you will visit them. There are a lot of great recipes over there that are affordable. Enjoy... play around with these... they are soo goooooood.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease muffin tin with non-stick spray

Ingredients

Sift together in bowl #1:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbs baking powder
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt

Mix together in bowl #2:
1 cup grated cheddar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups of milk
1/4 cup melted butter

Add ingredients in bowl #2 to bowl #1.
Mix until combined.
Fill muffin tins 2/3 full
Sprinkle tops with course pretzel salt (optional)
Bake 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

This is the original writing of the biscuits. I added fresh ground pepper to them and some diced onions and I mixed in a tablespoon of garlic in the second bowl. They were fantastic as well. Next time I am also going to add some crumbled, crispy bacon. Fantastic and easy muffins...
