Chocolate Chip Muffins

Notes: I am surprising myself in saying this, but I modified this recipe to half the original amount of chocolate chips. It was just too rich and too dense with an entire bag of chips. Half a bag would be fine. And then just eat the other half of the bag while you are waiting for these to bake. :-)

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light-brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter -- melted and cooled
2 eggs - beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 package (6 oz) chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans -- chopped (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 F. and grease up twelve muffin cups.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, stir together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla until blended. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add milk mixture and stir just to combine. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Spoon batter into muffin cups; bake 15-20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center of one muffin comes out clean. Remove muffin tin to wire rack; cool 5 minutes and remove from tins to finish cooling.

Serve warm.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Caramel Apple Jam

Note: Recipe makes approximately 6 pints.  If planning on canning, prepare the water bath during step 1.   Ingredients 6 cups apples, diced and peeled (1/8 inch cubes, roughly – this takes about three pounds of whole apples) 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon butter 1 package (1.75 ounces) powdered fruit pectin 2 1/2 cups sugar 2 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Directions 1) In a pan, combine the apples with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon butter. Cook over low heat, stirring regularly, until apples are soft. Approximately 1 hour. 2) Once the apples are soft, stir in the pectin & bring to a rolling boil. 3) Add white & brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and stir to combine.  Mixture will thicken. Bring it back to a rolling boil. Stir constantly and let it boil for one minute. 4) Remove from heat. Ladle into jars.  If canning, process immediately.  Otherwise, let jam cool before putting on lids and refrigerating. source:  “Caramel Apple Jam”
