Tuesday's Tip: Use Cookie Dough Scoops to Fill Muffin Cups


Miniature muffins are a great way to have “just a bite” of something tasty. I love mini muffins, but I used to hate filling all those little holes with batter. Finally, I discovered that my smallest cookie dough scoop is the perfect size for filling the cups of my mini muffin tins. Using the scoop is quick, easy and produces uniform-sized muffins! Guess what?! Large cookie dough/ice cream scoops are great for scooping batter into standard size muffin tins! As much as I like the ease using a scoop to fill tins brings, what I really like best is the uniformity that is produced!

Using a cookie dough scoop makes quick and easy work of filling muffin tins.
A nice uniformity is also achieved!

My scoop made quick work of making a batch of my Bacon Cheddar Muffins for Sunday school this past week!

    Mrs. Connie~

    Today I made oatmeal-raisin cookies. I tried balling them with my hands but they were to gloppy. But then, i had a thought: I could TRY and use the cookie scooper! I had never used a cookie dough ball-er(thingie) until today for cookie, and do you know what? It worked AWESOMELY!!! I suppose that's why it is called a cookie dough ball-er(thingie)!!=) ;) I just thought I would share! I miss y'all!!

    Love to your whole family!

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 ...
