So I feel like I am on a role, with all the recipes that are new! This is another new one tonight. We ate the whole thing. I will be making it again. It is kid friendly. EASY. Not a lot of weird ingredients. You should have most of what is in this. I wish I had a lot of pictures of the steps, but did not think about it until we were almost done. This is another recipe from Heavenly Homemaker.

Here is what you do:

Cook 2 cups of long grain brown rice, set aside once done

While your rice is cooking, take 1 lb of ground beef (or ground turkey), 1/2 chopped onion, 1 clove of garlic chopped, and salt, pepper to taste. Cook all that up.

Once it is cooked up all the way, add the rice to it…stir.

Then add 1 cup of Sour Cream, 1/3 cup milk…stir all that into the meat and rice mixture.

Then sprinkle 1 cup of Shredded Cheddar Cheese to the top of this.

This is simple, yet good. And it was nice and tasty.

I know, really, I am sure you are thinking another recipe by Paula Deen. Here is the deal though, these are a healthy snack for the kiddos. And they were a hit. We ate them after dinner. There are many other ways to make them. Basically any fruit mixed together with some juice .

“I will praise Your name, LORD, because it is good.”
Psalm 54:6

I love this song. IF you have a few moments you should listen to it.

Found in Your hands, fullness of joy
Every fear suddenly wiped away here in Your presence
All of my gains now fade away
Every crown no longer on display, here inYour presence
Heaven in trembling in awe of Your wonders
the kings and their kingdom arestanding amazed

Chorus:
Here in Your presence, we are undone
Here in Your presence, Heaven and Earth become one
Here in Your presence, all things are new
Here in Your presence, everything bows before You

Bridge:
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchlessin every way
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchlessin every way
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchlessin every way
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchlessin every way

Chorus:
Here in Your presence, we are undone
Here in Your presence, Heaven and Earth become one
Here in Your presence, all things are new
Here in Your presence, everything bows before You

Here in Your presence, we are undone
Here in Your presence, Heaven and Earth become one
Here in Your presence, all things are new
Here in Your presence, everything bows before You

So I have been looking for a Blueberry Muffin recipe, that we will all JUST LOVE! After trying some and not being very impressed. I found this one, on Paula Deen’s website. I followed this recipe to a “T”. And I have to say, it is really really good! We will definitely be making this again when we want blueberry muffins. Plus, they are so much better than the boxed ones!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 ¼ cups plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and 1 ¼ cups sugar until fluffy and pale in color.

From 2010-07-03

Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

From 2010-07-03

In a separate mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

From 2010-07-03

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the milk until well incorporated and being careful not to over mix.

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. I used the frozen blueberries, from when we went blueberry picking a couple of weeks ago. I did not let them thaw, threw them in there completely frozen!

From 2010-07-03

Scoop batter into the paper lined muffin tin and sprinkle the tops with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.

From 2010-07-03

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.

From 2010-07-03

THESE were seriously so very good!

Well, tomorrow I have to start drinking the gag juice to clean my system out. On Friday I will be having a colonoscopy and EGD. For those of you that do not know, and EGD goes down your throat into your stomach and small intestine. They have to numb my throat for this one. Thankfully, for both tests I will be asleep in la la la land! So not looking for to it, but I know it is needed to figure out what is wrong with me. I still have pain in my side. I have had it for almost a year. So I am anxious to figure out what the deal is. I am sick of feeling sick and hurting. Anyways, I won’t be back on here until Saturday sometime…since tomorrow I will be drinking the junk, and Friday doing the test. I will update with the results some time Saturday. I do not know how long it will take for the biopsies to come back. But when they do, we will update that too.
