Krusteaz Fat Free Cranberry Orange Supreme Muffin Mix


Krusteaz Fat Free Cranberry Orange
Supreme Muffin Mix

I was craving me some cranberries this morning!

Yesterday at Sunday School, my dear friend Donna S. told me about a cranberry slaw recipe she tried last week! She said it was really tasty! I've asked her to share it with us!!

And then this morning, the weather was so nice and crisp when M.C. and I took a little stroll, it felt like cranberry weather!

When we got home, I decided to make this box of cranberry muffins for our breakfast. Logan and I love these! I usually keep a box or two on hand, stocking up when they are on sale. They are found with all the other muffin mixes at most grocery stores.

We love cranberries, and I have several good recipes I look forward to sharing when the fresh cranberries arrive this season!

When the kids were small, we read a series of books that took place in the cranberry bogs of Massachusetts by Harry and Wende Devlin. I was introduced to these through the Five in a Row curriculum. We loved these books and read them for years. We even did a little story time built around these books one year at the library. Each book ends with a great cranberry recipe! We prepared everything from Cranberry Upside Down Cake to Frothy Cranberry Punch through the years! If you have small children or grands, I highly recommend these. I'm not sure they are still in print, but most libraries have them. I think they've got most, if not all of them, here at the Pontotoc library. (Thanks Christine and Regina!!)

I was thinking about these books as I made the muffins this morning, and truthfully, lamenting the passing of time. When Logan came down to feed the cats, he asked what smelled so good. I told him it was cranberry muffins and to have one. He exclaimed, as he reached for one, "Oh, I love these!" He took a bite and said, "You know what I always think about when we have these muffins? Those cranberry books you used to read us. I miss that kind of thing now that I big." To say the least, it made my day!

To make muffins:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Remove about 1/4 cup of the dry mix from the plastic bag and blend with 1/4 cup of brown sugar to make a topping for the muffins; set aside.
Open the can of enclosed cranberries; drain and set aside.
Dump the remaining dry mix into a medium mixing bowl.
Stir in one cup of water, just until moist.
Gently add cranberries.
Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Sprinkle brown sugar topping over batter.
Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
