BREAKFAST CINNAMON MUFFINS


I just found this recipe and it looked intriguing. It proved to be excellent! The whole kitchen smells great while they are baking, and the brown sugar sprinkled on top gives it a little crunch.

2 cups (250 g) flour

3/4 cups sugar (150 g)

2 tsp baking powder (10 g)

1 TBS cinnamon (8 g)

1 tsp ground nutmeg (2 g)

1/2 tsp salt (3 g)

1 cup milk (240 ml)

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted and cooled (114 g)

2 large eggs

brown sugar


Combine dry ingredients. Stir in milk, melted butter and eggs. Mix just until combined, lumps are ok.

Spoon into greased metal muffin tins, or tins lined with paper cups, or silicon cups (that's what I use). Sprinkle tops with brown sugar.

Bake at 350°F/180°C for 20 minutes, may need a bit longer. For jumbo muffins, bake 20-25 minutes.

Turkey Taco Bowls

  Turkey Taco Bowl I am always on the lookout for new recipes using ground turkey. We usually just make “Frikadellen”, which are somewhere between a meatball (virtually unknown here) and hamburgers. In other words, meat patties. Sometimes we make them hamurger size, sometimes smaller, which are handy as quick snacks. Anyway, when I saw this one, it really struck a chord with me. I think Norbert was a bit suspicious of it at first, but afterwards both he and Lucas agreed it was a keeper. 1 lb (500 g) ground turkey 1 onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 cup corn kernels 1 can black or kidney beans, drained and rinsed Taco seasoning 2 cups cooked rice Heat a bit of oil and put a bit of seasoning in it. (This makes a big difference!) Saute the meat until done, adding seasoning to the meat as it cooks. Then add the onion and bell pepper, and saute until soft. Stir in corn, beans and more seasoning if desired. Cook 2-3 minutes until heated through. Put rice in bowls, then top with tur...

We try to eat meatless at least once a week. We like this one, not only delicious but also very easy to make. 2/3 cup (125 g) uncooked barley (not quick cooking) ¼ cup (75 ml) vegetable broth 4 cups (@400 g) mixed frozen vegetables ½ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp black pepper 2 cups (500 ml) vegetable broth ½ tsp butter ½ tsp salt Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Lightly grease a 1.5 quart (1.5 liter) casserole. Place barley and the ¼ cup (75 ml) vegetable broth in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Heat for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Transfer to prepared casserole. Put vegetables, garlic, pepper, and 2 cups (500 ml) broth into casserole. Mix well. Cover and bake 50 minutes, or until barley is tender and most of liquid is absorbed. Stir several times during baking. If needed, leave uncovered the last 10 minutes so that the liquid is absorbed. Stir in butter and salt. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. NOTE...
