Breakfast??

What do you make when you don't have milk, eggs, butter and you don't want yogurt or dry cereal? Applesauce olive oil muffins!!!!



These dense muffins are super yummy and have lots of cinnamon and apples!!! They are good for vegans (not that I am anywhere close to being a vegan) because they contain no eggs or butter.

Enjoy!! I know Sydney will be happy when she sees them :)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup applesauce - any flavor combo, but I like plain the best
1/3 c olive oil
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 c sugar
1 green apple peeled and finely chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375. Grease or line muffin pan (recipe makes 12 muffins)

Combine apple, applesauce and olive oil. Set aside.

Combine dry ingredients.

Add dry mixture to apple mixture until a wet batter forms. This batter will be thick, so don't worry. These are pretty dense, but moist muffins.

Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Berry Crumble

Wow!!! I seriously haven't published anything on here in a while!!!!

So right to the point....my new favorite recipe is this berry crumble I discovered. I abolutely LOVE it!! I have made it for work, church and for ladies nights at our house. You can use just one type of berry or a mixture. My favorite is just plain blackerries. Also the recipe calls for vanilla extract, but I was out of that the other day and subsituted lemon and it was amazing!!! Especially if you use blue or blackberries.

I hope ya'll enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it for my friends!!!



This was my last one. It was a double batch for church!!!

Pour batter into pan and spread level. Sprinkle berries on top. Sprinkly crumb topping on top of berries and batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick can be stuck in and come out clean.

Restless

I just have to share the lyrics of this song. I just love them. It describes perfectly how I feel about this dwelling place God has given us. Sometimes I feel uncontent about the world and that's okay. We are not supposed to be entirely content. We can feel restless, because we should rest in Him. He is our peace, our rest, our contentment. He is the God of the universe, only He can complete what feels missing in our lives.............

Restless
written by Audrey Assad and Matt Maher

You dwell in the songs that we are singing

Rising to the Heavens
Rising to Your heart
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between our frailty and everything You are

You are the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of my heart


And I'm restless
I’m restless
'Til I rest in You
(Oh God I wanna rest in You)


Oh speak now for my soul is listening
Say that You have saved me
Whisper in the dark
'Cause I know You’re more than my salvation
Without You I am hopeless
Tell me who You are

You are the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of my heart


Still my heart
Hold me close
Let me hear a still small voice
Let it grow
Let it rise
Into a shout
Into a cry


I am restless until I rest in You






Just a beautiful song............
