Strawberry Cream Muffins - Muffin Monday

Improv Challenge
Yes, it is Thursday but I made strawberry cream muffins for the Improv which is Strawberries and Cream . Since, we unveil our beauties on this Thursday (today which is really tomorrow), I am posting early.


 Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Housewife does an admirable job with these delicious assignments and we have fun making a variety of dishes. If you would like to join us, let Kristen know. You won't be sorry. 


This recipe is adapted from 1997 Taste of Home Annual.


 Ingredients: 


 2 cups gluten free flour mix 
 1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
 1 tablespoon baking powder 
 2 teaspoons xanthan gum 
 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 
1 cups Rice Dream minus one teaspoon 
 1/2 cup heavy cream 
 1 teaspoon vinegar (I used white) 
 1 egg beater
 2/3 cup light brown sugar
 1/3 cup, oil
 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind 
 1 cup cut up strawberries 




 Method: 


 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


 Combine the first five ingredients in a bowl. 


 Combine cream and Rice Dream with vinegar and next 4 ingredients. 


Add strawberries.


Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.


Do not overmix. Spoon batter into greased muffin pans, two thirds full or more for gluten free. (I used paper liners.) 


Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Use your judgement on this because the strawberries add moisture. 


Remove from pans . Makes 18 servings.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
