Suggestions

Today I would like to suggest: [that looks weird, hope I spelled that right]

1.  That you take a moment to enjoy something little.  Maybe buy some flowers when you are at the store.  Take 5 extra minutes and actually taste your lunch.  Look at a loved one when they don't see you looking. [what do you love most about them?] maybe their scorpion collection?! ;)

2.  Be this happy at some point today.  Okay, you don't have to look as stupid as me doing it, but do it!  Smile.  Smile big.

3.  And if your Hubby got your TV up and running last night too.  Give him a big one of these [crowns].  Or a huge smooch.

4.  And if you went to Costco and got a bunch of these [that are going bad way too quickly].  You'll want to make these . . Lemon Raspberry Streusel Muffins.

Amazing.

Muffins:


2 cups all purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar - I use splenda

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 8 oz container of lemon yogurt

1/4 cup oil & 1/4 cup apple sauce

Grated lemon peel from one lemon

2 eggs

1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw)

Topping:

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup all purpose flour

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter


Heat oven to 400 F. Grease about 16 muffin tins or line with muffin wrappers. (I also spray my wrappers with non-stick spray to help ease the removal.)

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

In small bowl, combine yogurt, oil, lemon peel and eggs. Mix well. Add to dry ingredients just until wet [I can't use the "m" word"].  Gently stir in berries. DO NOT OVERMIX.

fill to 1/2 -3/4 full.

In small bowl, combine sugar and flour. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in butter till crumbly.  Sprinkle over batter.

Bake at 400 F for 18 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Happy Wednesday!
