Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Healthy Grain and Pomegranate Muffins

Whenever I have leftover cooked cereal, I like to make muffins. 
This is an easily adapted recipe; in fact, I used a basic muffin recipe from The Tightwad Gazette to come up with this one.




Healthy Grain and Pomegranate Muffins

2 c. cooked cereal 
3 c. flour
brown sugar (My leftover cooked cereal was already sweetened, so I think I used 1/4 c., but if your cooked cereal is unsweetened, you might add 1 cup.)
2 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
cinnamon (I didn't measure--somewhere between 1 t. and 1 T.)
2 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 c. pomegranate arils (I used frozen)

Combine cooked cereal and dry ingredients.  Combine milk, oil, and eggs and add to dry ingredients. Fold in the pomegranate.  Fill 24 greased muffin tins, and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
   
Thanks for the smell (and taste) of warm muffins.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
