Corn Bread Muffins Recipe

I mentioned on Facebook yesterday afternoon that I had just baked some Chocolate Chip cookies and a batch of Corn Bread Muffins.  I was asked for the recipe.  I intended to post it here anyway because, this is the best Corn Bread I've ever had in my life!  It's mom's recipe.  She's been using this one for years and years and although we've both tried others, nothing compares!  So here it is:

CORN BREAD MUFFINS

1 Cup Milk
1 Egg
1 Cup Flour
3 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Cup Corn Meal
1/3 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Cup Melted Butter

In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients.  In another bowl, combine all wet ingredients and mix well.  Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.  Mix well.  Spoon into cupcake tin lined with cupcake papers.  Bake at 400 degrees for 18 - 20 minutes.  Makes 12 regular size muffins.

You can also bake it in a pan.  Either way, you'll never find a better recipe for corn bread than this one!

In other news, I'll have an update on my mystery crazyquilt project either later today or tomorrow.  I did stitch on it yesterday but want to get a little more stitching done before I post an update. So far, you have some very interesting guesses!  I knew it would be fun to keep you all wondering!  LOL!!!


Tomorrow, Kathi and I will be heading up to Delavan Wisconsin for a Holiday Show at Tall Grass Farm.  If you live in the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin area, you might want to check it out!  It's a beautiful farm and there will be all sorts of handmade goodies, roving for felting & spinning, handmade soap and more.  Kathi & I were there in October and had a wonderful time!  If you do head out there, look for the girls with the crazy quilt purses.  That will be us!

I'll leave you for now with some new Christmas Tussy Mussy's by mom:

Custom Order - It's A Mystery!

I thought I'd have some fun with all of you!  I have a custom order for a crazy quilt piece.  The finished item will be rather unusual.  Something I've not done before but I know it'll be fun.

I pieced the block over the weekend, pulled some lace and trims yesterday and will start stitching on it today.

This mystery is, I'm not going to tell what it's going to be.  I thought it would be fun for you, my readers, to watch my progress and figure it out on your own.

Stay tuned to see where this goes!

New Creations

Some new finishes:

Everything was made by Mom except for the Santa Brooches which I did.  Polymer Clay meets hand Needle Felting!

Now Accepting Phone Orders & Email Orders

I had no clue that some people don't care for ordering online.  After having several conversations earlier this week, it's come to my attention that many people either don't want to mess with signing up at Etsy, or just find it easier to pick up the phone and place an order.  It's funny how things come about sometimes.

Mom and I discussed this and we agreed that taking phone orders would be helpful so, here we go!  We are now accepting phone orders as well as email orders.

Everything in my Etsy shop is available to order by phone or email.

To order by phone, click here.  If you call and I'm not here, please leave a message with your name and phone # and I will return your call ASAP. 

To order by email, click here.  Just send me a list of what you would like to order and again, I will reply ASAP.

I will have to send a PayPal invoice via email either way.  It's the only way I can accept Visa/Mastercard payments at this time but who knows what the future may bring!  One step at a time.

With all that said, I will make our entire catalog available right here on my blog (at the tab on the top marked Phone Orders) but that's going to be time consuming so I'll have to add it a little at a time.  For now, everything we offer is available to see on my Etsy site. 

I'm getting ready to list some new items so for now, I'll leave you with the weekends additions:

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins Recipe

First, I would like to take a moment to say thank you to my very dear and sweet friend, Mary Anne Richardson for being my Guest Blogger yesterday.  I hope you all enjoyed Mary Anne's post and the photos of her gorgeous work! 

I made some muffins over the weekend and they were so good, I thought you would enjoy having the recipe.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

2/3 cup Sugar
5 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Milk
2/3 cups Vegetable Oil
1 can Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 bag Mini Chocolate Chips

In one bowl, combine all dry ingredients.  In another bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well.  Spoon into cupcake tins and bake at 400 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.
