Veggie & Cheese Pudding Muffins

A Tasty Mistake

The task was to develop a recipe for a savory pancake filled with chopped vegetables and sharp cheddar goat cheese.  A pancake that could be taken in a lunch bag and eaten either hot or cold.

So it was I took 1 cup of my own gluten free flour mix and added 2 cups of chopped vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, 1 cup of shredded cheese, ¼ teaspoon garlic salt and 1 cup of almond milk.  And as often happens to me when I am making pancakes I had to add about ¼ cup of water to create a pourable batter.  

 Happy with my experiment so far I poured the batter into a hot frying pan greased with coconut oil the cheese stuck to the frying pan – this batter would not make pancakes!

I was not going to waste the batter what could I do … and there sitting in the drying rack was the answer the silicone non-stick muffin pan.  The batter poured easily and I preheated the oven to 375 F and once the muffins were in the oven I set the timer to 30 minutes.  30 minutes later the muffins were still uncooked 15 more minutes and still the muffins were too moist in the centre.

It was too late now and I needed to go to bed so I turned off the oven and left the muffins in the cooling muffins.  If they are ruined well not all cooking experiments work out!

The next morning resolved to find a disaster in the oven I was surprised to find a tasty muffins that had a wet texture similar to a Yorkshire pudding.  Paul compared the taste to that of a vegetable potpie and he asked that I add a good garlic sausage to a few next time.   We both agreed that the result was not a disaster.

Today I had three of the muffins heated with a mild salsa on top the result was very tasty.

Ingredients:

1 cup of gluten free flour mix (use ½ of this, 1 cup almond flour, ½ cup rice flour

½ cup tapioca starch, ¼ cup coconut flour, tsp xanthan gum, 2 tsp baking powder)

2 cups of chopped vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots,

1 cup of shredded cheese,

¼ teaspoon garlic salt

1 cup of almond milk or less if you want less of a Yorkshire pudding texture

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together and pour into your muffin pan bake at 375 F for 60 minutes.

And I Still Need Help! 

How do you add cheese to pancake patter so that it will not stick to the frying pan?

Vacation is over Canada here I come!
Yah right how many things can you find that are wrong with

Tell it to Jesus Alone

Matthew 14:12

No 114 Tell it to Jesus Alone

Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?

Tell it to Jesus Tell it to Jesus;

Are you grieving over joys departed?

Tell it to Jesus alone.

Do the tears flow down your checks unbidden?

Tell it to Jesus Tell it to Jesus;

Have you sins that to human eye are hidden?

Tell it to Jesus alone.

Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?

Tell it to Jesus Tell it to Jesus

Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?

Tell it to Jesus alone.

Are you troubled at the tho't of dying?

Tell it to Jesus Tell it to Jesus

For Christ's coming Kingdom are you sighing?

Tell it to Jesus alone.

Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus,

He ev'ry sorrow hath known;

You have no other such a friend or brother,

Tell it to Jesus alone.

Easter Crafts for Children

Sock Bunnies 

to colour and make your own!

 This is a quick and easy craft for children and can be completed in less than 30 minutes with adult supervision.

Supplies Needed:

1.  white glue or a glue gun (we used a glue gun as we found it held the eyes and tail securely in place)
2. scissors  
3. pom poms, eyes and ribbon 
4. fabric markers to colour the bunny with
5. white ankle socks for the body of the bunny
6. elastic bands
7. rice
8. quilt batting 

 Step #1

Using their skills of cooperation one child holds the sock open while the other places a little more than a 1/4 cup of rice in the toe of the sock.  The rice acts as weight and hold the bunny in an upright position.

Step #2

A small amount of quilt batting is added on top of the rice to form the larger bottom portion of the bunny and an elastic band is loosely applied at this point over top of the sock forming the neck.

Step #3

Quilt batting is stuff above the neck to form the head.  It is important to remember to leave enough room to cut off the sock ribbing and still have room to make ears.  Once the head is the size wanted another elastic band is applied tightly on top forming the head.

Cutting the ears

The first cut is from the bottom corner of the ribbing to the middle seam of the toe.  The second cut is to divide the fabric above the second elastic in half.  You now have two poorly shaped ears.  With adult supervision given the age and sharp scissors you now shape the ears cutting away excess fabric.

Before colouring the sock bunny an adult will need to hot glue the eyes and tail on.  With the fabric markers the face is drawn on and ribbon placed at the neck.  The final stage is colouring your sock bunny.

God is here among us!

Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Is your spiritual life like the valley of dry bones described in Ezekiel 37?  

Ezekiel 37:1-4The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know." 4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD

Know that Christ is here among us calling each of us to hear the word of the Lord and experience God in a new way this Easter season!
