Horray for snow days!!! I've had 2 days off this week, not to mention an early release yesterday! Huzzah!
Well by popular demand, here is a picture of my beautiful felted bag Marmie made me!
And of course, Nikko offered to model it. Isn't she cute? (Sumo gets too many photo shoots on Marmie's blog, don't ya think? =)
Today I made some wonderful oat bran muffins!
Oat Bran Muffins
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1-1/2 c. oat bran cereal
1-1/2 c. flour
1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 Tbsp. baking soda
1/2 ts. salt
2 eggs
1 c. applesauce, chilled
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1. Blend together dry ingredients.
2. Add eggs, applesauce, and vegetable oil.
3. Spoon batter into muffin cups (12 muffins)
4. Let stand 10 minutes
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
I added raisins and cinnamon to half of the batch, and then topped them with extra raisins. Then I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top after they came out of the oven. I would definately suggest that!
Just so you know that my life does NOT revolve around cooking as my blog seems to, here's a glimpse of my life...
I have always loved writing. I began writing for school newspapers in ninth grade. This year, as a senior, I'm co-editor-in-chief of the Tiger Hi-Line, my high school newspaper which is printed in our community newspaper.
I'm just about to head to Galena with Dad. We're going skiing tomorrow!! I'm so excited. I'm bringing my camera, so I'll probably put up some pictures next week. TTFN!
