Mother’s Day Muffins

It’s Mother’s Day Muffins

Mother's Day Muffins

Spicy Applesauce Muffins that can be reinvented. I love reinventing! Myself included.

Are you looking forward to Mother’s Day Sunday? Or, are you ambivalent?

Picking a Mother’s Day card for my mother is always difficult. I can’t seem to relate to the verses I find in the majority of Mother’s Day greeting cards. For many years this was a mystery … The ambivalence and struggle for the right card and gift. And I didn’t experience an ‘aha’ moment exactly.  But today the ambivalence about Mother’s Day has gone.

There are so many I appreciate on Mother’s Day, family and friends. My daughter and daughter-in-law, April especially … The young mothers of today. And I love being celebrated by my children.

I chose this recipe because of its simplicity. Breakfast in bed is a favorite treat children put together for mom. This recipe can be done by little hands. Or wrap these muffins in a special baking dish as a lovely gift for a mom.

Portuguese Sweet Bread

Portuguese Sweet Bread

Another Perry Family Favorite

The secret of good bread making beyond the ingredients … Don’t be afraid to use a little muscle in the kneading. No one made bread better than my grandmother. She often made 20 loaves at a time. That’s some kneading, or more correctly a lot of muscle. Yep, her arms were strong, and she had well formed deltoids before it was in vogue.

This morning I enjoyed a generous slice of this bread with coffee my grandmother’s way, cream and sugar. Yep, she was from the East Coast!

Just Perfect!

This recipe requires no condiments to enhance the flavor. Eat it hot from the oven. You’ll see. It’s amazing!

Why wait for holidays. Enjoy this any day.

Celebrating Cinco De Mayo & Austin’s Birthday Too!

Tex Mex Migas

This is definitely a variation on Tex Mex migas. The guest of honor, Austin, may just have the same hesitations when it comes to onions and fresh tomatoes as his sister, Aubree. We are a family that orders on the side. Watching When Harry Met Sally, we recognize ourselves in the restaurant scenes … well, not all the restaurant scenes.

I have given recipe options for those that prefer on the side. This recipe is so very easy and just a nice meal for guests or a large family celebration.
