Obviously I am still working on the header to this blog. Pay it no mind.
Sunday dinners are usually extra special around here. I love to take the afternoon after church and cook for a few hours. The kids were playing, the baby sleeping, and the sick husband was tucked in bed.
The kitchen was mine.
Dinner was AMAZING. I was totally satisfied after the meal. You know, the satisfaction that comes from not burning a single thing,and from everything turning out better than you thought. I was nervous a little, because they were all new recipes. I took some bites of food, laughed at my kids for going to the bathroom no less than 4 times combined, ate some more, smiled at my sweet baby boy and his yummy face, took lots more bites, frowned at the kids many times (maybe raised my voice a little?) for jumping up and down and acting like monkeys at the table, then finished my plate of food off quickly with a sigh and a bulging belly. I fully plan on posting the entire meal for your enjoyment this week, which I am excited about, because I altered every single recipe I used to make the meal, which makes the meal entirely invented by myself...right? Anyway, welcome to my blog.
Oh, and here was tonight's dessert.
(I forgot to take a pic because I was busy horking down my dinner and then this dessert-so I borrowed this picture off the web. Won't happen again.)
I got this original recipe from a dear friend and an old neighbor, Nan. In my effort to be more healthy and fully enjoy the wheat grinder my parents gave us for Christmas, I bring you the healthy (and TOTALLY guilt free) version of the Double Chocolate Muffin.
Method: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs, applesauce, water, milk, and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. (or eat right away...) Yield: 16 dense, moist, delicious muffins. There might only be 5 left, but who knows...
Try them and let me know what you think!
