some food stuff

Our teacher Chris gave an inspirational speech the other day about how to recover from being burned out.  While i am not burned out i do need to start shooting all of the concepts that are building up in my head.  Chris told us that when you get burned out you should go back to something that you love.  Well i like cooking so i decided to do some baking last night go get out some creative energy.

The first thing i made was French Breakfast Muffins and wow they are amazingly good.

Recipe:  Pre-Heat Oven to 350˙

1/3 c. Butter, melted (I used unsalted) 

1/2 c. Sugar

1 egg at room temp.

1 1/2 c. AP Flour

1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 c. milk

Sift together all dry ingredients in a medium to large bowl.  Add all et ingredients and stir until combined (it's ok if it is still lumpy) DON'T OVER MIX! With a ice cream scoop, scoop into greased muffin tin.  (I found that this made 7 large scoop muffins)

Bake 20-25 mins, or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges

The Topping:

1/2 c. Sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

and 1/2 c. Butter

Melt butter and pour into a bowl for dipping.

Combine sugar and cinnamon

Remove warm muffins from tin.  Dip into butter then into cinnamon sugar.

These tast amazing so i hope you all like them also.

My dinner last night was a delicious three cheese tortellini with a creamy pesto sauce....yet another amazing dish. 

I also attempted a home made pop tart recipe last night but the don't look so hot.  I am gonna attempt to do them again to see if i can make them better, so stay tuned for that. Until then try the muffins and tell me what ya think.
