Apple Harvest Muffins

The other day, I was showing a friend of ours Pinterest.

While on there, I was looking at my boards.

Not "my boards," because I'm not on Pinterest.

My mom is on Pinterest.

I ghost pin for her.

That way, she looks cool and has followers.

I started doing that for her when she showed me Pinterest and I noticed she had followers

who were following nothing because she didn't have any boards.

How boring is that.

So I'm helping her.

I'm a good daughter that way!

On her/my board of Breakfast or Breads or something like that is this idea.

So I looked it over and made some modifications.

Here's the finished product.

See if you like it!

*I've since made and tried these muffins. I think they're a bit dry, not overly sweet, and needs a little bit more flavor. You'll find my suggestions at the bottom of this post. One of my friends who tried the muffin said she "really liked it."

Apple Harvest Muffins

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I used dark brown sugar)
2 diced Granny Smith apples

topping:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup old fashioned oats
4 T butter

Preheat oven to 375
Mix dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.

Mix wet ingredients and apples in a smaller bowl.

Add the wet mixture to dry mixture, mixing well.

Scoop into greased muffin tins. I made jumbo muffins and it easily made 6. This recipe probably yields 1 dozen regular muffins.

Mix topping ingredients in small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the muffins. For the jumbo muffins I sprinkled about 2 TBSP on each muffin. You can probably sprinkle about 1 TBSP on a regular muffin.

Bake for 25 minutes or until done.

Remove from the pan and enjoy!

*I'd add 1/4 cup more oil. The recipe originally called for 1/2 cup, but I thought that was too much, with moistness coming from the apples. But I was wrong! I'd add the full 1/2 cup.

I'd add 1-2 tsp. of cinnamon or apple pie spice. I think it needs a little something.

I used 2 apples, but you could easily use 3 and if you're a raisin fan, that might be a good addition too.

I personally liked the topping. It was a modification from the original recipe, but I'm going to keep it as I have printed.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
