Pumpkin Apple Muffins

One of my fall favorites - these muffins are moist and very tasty. They are also relatively healthy if you substitute in wheat flour and applesauce and omit the streusel topping. 

Ingredients:


2 1/2 cups flour (I usually use 1/2 wheat flour) 
2 cups brown sugar 
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice 
1 tsp. baking soda 
2 eggs, beaten 
1 cup canned pumpkin (more) 
1/2 cup applesauce or oil 
2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped 
Streusel Topping (can be doubled):


2 Tbsp. flour 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
1/2 tsp. cinnamon 
4 tsp. butter 

Directions:


Preheat over to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin cups. Mix dry ingredients and wet separately. Add wet to dry; stirring just to moisten. Fold in apples. Spoon in muffin cups Mix streusel topping and sprinkle on muffins. Bake 35-40 minutes.

If you prefer, you can make bread rather than muffins. Extend baking time by 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean

Servings: 18 
Time: 15 Minutes Preparation Time
35-40 Minutes Cooking Time

Sweet Jalapeno Chicken

Sweet jalapeno chicken blends sweet and spicy flavors. It is delicious on tortillas or served with rice.

Ingredients:

• 4 large chicken breasts
• 1 bell pepper (I used 1/2 green and 1/2 yellow)
• 2 medium onions
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with jalapenos
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2-3 Tbsp jalapeno pepper jelly
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red peppers
• salt
• pepper

Directions:

Cut chicken breasts across the grain into thin strips (1/4 inch thick). Set aside.

Thinly slice peppers and onions.

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, stirring frequently until onions are translucent and soft. Remove and set aside.

Put remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in pan and add chicken pieces. Cook chicken over medium heat until slightly brown. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add jalapeno pepper jelly to chicken and stir to coat.

Return cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with chicken. Also add the can of tomatoes. Stir to combine.

Cover and simmer over medium-low until hot throughout.

The Charles Schulz Philosophy...

The Charles Schulz Philosophy...

Scroll thru slowly and read carefully to receive and enjoy full effect

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.

Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.

4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember all the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies..

Awards tarnish..

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4..Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the

most credentials, the most money...or the most awards.

They simply are the ones who care the most

 

Pass this on to those people who have either made a difference in your life,

or whom you keep close in your heart, like I did

'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.It's already tomorrow in Australia !'
