Vincent loves to eat these

Today I decided to make some carrot muffins for my little man to see if he would eat them.. and he did! now granted.. they do have sugar and butter in them.. but there are carrots in them too! :D .. so maybe not so sneaky.. but kinda.. anyways.. here is the recipe
Ingredients for muffin:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup butter (room temp)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour 
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup milk
Ingredients for glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbs butter (melted)
  • about 1-2 Tbsp of milk (you may need more)
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray or grease and flour a muffin tin
  3. In a stand up mixer mix together sugar, butter, eggs, and shredded carrot until well incorporated.
  4. Sift together flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. At a about a cup at a time add the dry ingredients and a little of your milk. Do this back and forth until all your dry ingredients and milk are all mixed in with the previous mix.
  5. This recipe makes 12 muffins, so spoon in the batter into a 12 serving regular sized muffin tin.
  6. If you want take a little extra of your cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar mix on top of your muffins, as well as a few rolled oats.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Once done set on a wire rack to cool.
Instructions for glaze:
  1. in a bowl add your cup of powdered sugar, your melted butter, and your vanilla extract and whisk together until smooth. Pretty straight forward :)
  2. Once your muffins have cooled off a bit take your whisk, or a spoon or whatever.. and flip the glaze around on your muffins! (that was the best way I could think of to describe how I did it.. I made a mess)
ENJOY! I loved them.. AND my son loved them and he got a serving of veggies! YAY!

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here  http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Vincent eating a warhead

Ok... so I know I haven't posted on here in a while. I have been crazy crazy busy this month. I have dressed up in Halloween costumes on 6-7 different occasions along with 2 kids. And let me tell ya.. it takes all the energy out of you. This year my son FINALLY was a Hobbit and my girlie pie was a fairy princess! ANYWAYS... Tonight was Halloween and we did some trick or treating. At first when we went out my little (now 3 year old! He just had his birthday yesterday!) guy, he was so tired he started falling asleep while trick or treating. So I gave him an hour or so to get a second wind and took him out again. He got lots more candy and we came home once he was satisfied. He then preceded to take a nap (which I thought was bedtime) and he woke up at 11:30 at night. SO we are going to be up super super late. BUT it payed off because I got the best belly laugh I have EVER had. Out of all the candy he had in his bucket.. he decided to pick out the warhead. Now, if any of you hav...
