Muffins and books make the gray go away....


On a dreary, wet day there are two things that are a good bet for cheering us up--yummy muffins and story after story. Here is our latest and greatest muffin recipe:)

Bran Flax Muffins (lots more delicious than they sound!)
1 1/2 cup Unbleached white flour
3/4 cup Flaxseed meal
3/4 cup oatbran
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cups finely shredded carrot
2 peeled and shredded apples
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix
all dry ingredients. Stir in Carrots, Apples, Raisins, and Nuts. Combine milk, beaten eggs and vanilla and pour into dry ingredients. Stir. Bake at 350 foe 15-20 minutes. Makes 15 muffins (mine made 20).

Let's see, some of our favorite stories lately have been Annie and the wild animals, Winter Days in the Big Woods, Thomas gets a snow plow, Jamberry, We're going on a Bear Hunt,  Mole and the Baby Bird and I am a Bunny . 

What about you? Any yummy goodness or fun favorite stories you've been enjoying? Do share! 

All for now as a little girl in a polka dot dress just woke up from her short nap and is ready to play, Jen

We loved I am a Bunny last year - I'd forgotten about it. So cute - I really want to check out those others too - especially the Little House one :)

We fought the cold drizzly-ish day with playdough, coloring and a long walk (and, I admit, Cinderella). Shoulda thought of muffins :)
