Peanut Butter and Chocolate Goodness

Mmmmmm. . . Homemade Peanut Butter Cups.  

I got the idea from my sister.  She got the recipe from 

Everyday Food Magazine.  

These were very simple to make and SO divine.

A sure crowd pleaser.

Fake It, Don't Make It - Blueberry Muffins

I came up with this Fake It, Don't Make It recipe.  

We call them Juniper Muffins around here. . . .

Yep - use this one.  I think it's the best.  

Follow directions on the box.  Then,   

Add 1 c. grated carrot.  

It adds moisture and nutrition.

Add 1 c. frozen blueberries.

Stir up and put in greased muffin tin (or handy silicone liners)

Top each unbaked muffin with a rounded tsp. of turbinado sugar.  

Bake according to box directions and/or until 

toothpick comes out clean.  

Enjoy!!

This should make 9 heaping muffins or 12 smaller ones.  

Get creative if you'd like, add shredded coconut or mashed banana.  

Whatever you have on hand should work. 

I'd love to hear what you use.

I get lots of compliments on these muffins and Juniper LOVES them.  

Oh and a little chubby handed helper makes them even better:)

Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

I learned this recipe on pbs one night . . . . it couldn't get any easier than this so I had to share. I think they are just as good as any traditional pb cookie recipe.

1 c. Peanut Butter
1 c. Sugar
1 egg

That's it!!! You don't even need a mixer, just a spoon and a bowl. Press down with a sugared fork and bake for 10 minutes at 350. The recipe makes about 18 small cookies or 12 large ones. Enjoy!!!
