Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins

These were some amazing muffins and I'll definitely make them again.  I would think you could trade out the strawberries for any other fruit you'd want.  I love the creaminess and texture of the muffins.  I took the picture off Cooking Club's website which is also where I got the recipe from.

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut up
1 cup chopped strawberries
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 egg
1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, cut into 12 cubes

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms of 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners. Combine flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in strawberries.

2. Whisk buttermilk and egg in small bowl until blended. Gently stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until combined. Divide evenly among muffin cups. Dip cream cheese pieces in 2 tablespoons of the sugar; place in center of each muffin. Press cream cheese until level with batter. (Do not cover cream cheese with batter.) Sprinkle muffins with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown and toothpick inserted off-center comes out clean (do not put toothpick in cream cheese). Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; serve warm or at room temperature. Store in refrigerator.

WordPress!

My husband brought this to my attention this morning so I thought I'd post it here for anyone of you who have a WordPress account/blog.  Check it out!  Very scary stuff.

Pop up Pancakes

I found this recipe on Make and Takes and we've fallen in love with them.  Since they make so many you've got easy and yummy leftovers or snacks.  They're so easy and really do taste great, we've tried syrup and powdered sugar so far.  Read some of the comments under her post and see what others have tried.  I also used her photo since we're having problems adding photos to the computer.

Coupons anyone?

There's a new site I was introduced to by Becky who emailed me some information about the site.  It's a forum that has links to grocery stores in your area and you can load coupons to your store savings card, find great deals you didn't know where there!  Who wouldn't want to save money in these hard times...  I joined the site and am excited to get to know it better.  I hope you check it out too!  www.afullcup.com    

Sick and Tired

We are sick and tired at our house... Jaidyn has had a fever since Saturday and a pretty bad sounding cough.  Well, we went to the Dr. on Thursday and they said it was viral bronchitis and said take some Delsym for the cough and sent us on our way.  They also told us the fever should be gone by the next day.  Saturday he was fine with just the usual cough which was good since we had a family gathering the next day.  So he went with Marc and Hannah to the gathering while I stayed home with a stomach bug which was no fun.  I missed being with my extended family...  Last night Jaidyn woke us up with an earache and was in a lot of pain.  This morning they were still bothering you so we went to the Dr. yet again and found out he has a double ear infection and yet another bout of a 102 fever.  I'm so tired of sickness in our house but I can't imagine how bad Jaidyn feels.  I hate to see little ones suffer...  Here's to a good week ahead since our spring break starts Tuesday.
