Triple Berry Muffins


Normally I would be sharing a lovely iced and baked cake with you today, as it is my birthday.  I ususally make myself my Raspberry Celebration Cake every year. It is my all time favourite birthday cake to make. However Photo Bucket is still holding my photos hostage over there and I can't seem to be able to get any answers from them. So this year on my Birthday you get Muffins.  Triple Berry Muffins.


They are exceedingly delicious however and do have berries in them, so I hope you will forgive me!


They have not one, not two, but three delicious berries in them.  Blueberries, raspberries and chopped strawberries, and I can assure you they are GORGEOUS!


It is a small batch recipe.  The original recipe from one of Ina Garten's books made 18 muffins. We cannot eat 18 muffins, and because I was using frozen fruit I didn't want to have any muffins to freeze.


In her recipe she adds the sugar with the berries.  The original recipe is one from a friend of hers and she says her friend forgot to add the sugar and added it at the end with the berries. I didn't want to do that.


I added it the conventional way.  Call me a traditionalist. I am one for sure.


These are BEAUTIFUL muffins.  Light and just sweet enough  . . . moist . . .


Studded with the tartness of sweet fruits  . . .


Perfect for breakfast or coffee break or elevensies, or tea time  . . .  well, perfect for any time really!


And most especially a wonderful way to kick start your morning on your Birthday!


I think I have found a new favourite here.  She used fresh berries, but I had frozen ones I wanted to use and they worked perfectly.


We both really, really enjoyed these. In fact, Todd ate two right away and that is highly unsual for him!

It is so stinking hot here . . .  and humid. I hate heat and humidity combined. Yes, I am whining. Blah . . .  it sucks away all of my energy.  Any baking etc. needs to be done early, early, early.

Chicken & Stuffing Casserole

  True confession here.  I love chicken (or turkey) and stuffing more than anything in the world. Even more than a good steak, and that is saying a lot!  When we have a roasted chicken or turkey dinner I always double up on the stuffing. Its quite simply a favourite with us all.  It has ever been so. That means that this Chicken and Stuffing Casserole also figures high on our list of things we love.  And for a variety of reasons!  First of all there is the stuffing, an abundance of it covering the top, crisp on the outside and yet moist beneath. Secondly there is its ease of preparation. This really could NOT be easier to make. Things are simply layered in  baking dish, covered and baked. Prepared stuffing mix.  Tinned soup with milk. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Canned green beans. Yes, canned cream of chicken soup.  I am not a canned soup snob.  So many are and I just don't get it.  I think it has great value in the kitchen...

Pineapple & Zucchini Loaf

  Its that time of year again. If you are a vegetable gardener you will know exactly what I mean. Its zucchini glut season!  That time of year when you have zucchini, or courgettes are they are known here in the UK, coming out your ears!  That time of the year when you think if you see just one more zucchini you are going to scream, and then . . .  you remember things like this delicious Pineapple Zucchini Loaf and all of a sudden everything is alright in your world again. I think zucchini has to be one of the most prolific of garden vegetables. You think you have picked it all and then it surprises you  with a gargantuan one, the size of a small dog that's been hiding underneat all of the leaf cover. You find yourself wondering how on earth you could have missed such a thing, but there it is. Its huge and you did actually miss finding it sooner. I'm not sure about you, but personally I like to pick my zucchini and use it when it is about the size of a large ban...

Apple Crisp with Sweet Biscuit Topping

    The original recipe for this delicious Apple Crisp comes from the November 1945 issue of Country Gentleman.  The original recipe serves 8 to 10 people which makes it great for large family sized get-togethers. I have adapted it to make only 4 to 5 servings however, which suits the smaller size of our family better. I just cut all the amounts in half. If you want to serve more, then you can certainly double the ingredients back up again!  This apple crisp recipe differs somewhat from most apple crisp desserts.  Most will have an incredibly sweet brown sugar, flour, butter, and oat topping.  The topping for this one is much more like a biscuit topping. It is almost more like a cobbler than it is a crisp.  But just like a crisp, it is a beautifully autumnal dessert that your family is sure to love.    It is perfect made with the fresh autumn apples which are available at present. But don't let that limit you!  It is also delicious ...
