New Profile Photo & Muffin Recipe

 

 I decided it was time for a new 

profile photo.

I started this blog in 2006

so my photo is 15 years old.

This one is two years old,

but I'm smiling :)

 

 


 

Also, I found a new to me

website today

&

tried this muffin recipe.

Easy Moist Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

makes 12 muffins

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (I like Betty Crocker)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Simply mix everything together, and then fold in your raisins and walnuts. Prepare a muffin pan with cooking spray or liners, and then bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 

Actually I used a small Jiffy cake mix

that is a 1/2 cake sized mix.

So; I cut everything in half.

For me 6 muffins is more

than enough.

  9. Great photo! Mine is a picture of me and my first grandson. He lived in Florida and this was the second time I saw him. I had flown down from Ohio for the weekend. Meanwhile, he just turned 13 years old last month.

  19. I really like your new picture. Looks like your pretty dark hair has grown out long again, and, I like the hat and glasses. Tomorrow, I pick up my new glasses. Hope mine look as cute on me as yours do on you.

  20. Your new photo is so sweet. So sweet to see your smiling face back then.. and hope that smile pops up now, once and again when something strikes your fancy! Those muffins look fast and easy. I used to love using the Jiffy mixes, but I can't use them anymore as they aren't gluten free. Wish they were! I use gluten free cake mixes for different things now and then, (other than a cake!) and love using them for cookies and bars and muffins. I have a little cookbook called 100 Things to Do with a Cake Mix, and I use that using my gf cake mixes for all sorts of yummy things. I could try those muffins with my gf mix! They look so good and easy and I love muffins. Of course, 6 is NOT enough for me and my hubby. We just devour them so fast, whenever one of us makes desserts. PS. I saw your comment on my blog and I'll email you concerning it! Hugs... Marilyn

  27. A lovely smile and a batch of muffins! What's not to like? I've got to try that muffin recipe. Using a Jif is a great idea.
    Thank you for all those wonderful posts and smiles for the past 15 (?) years. I always look forward to them.
    How is your front porch coming? If you were painting here today, the paint would dry almost before you got it off the brush; the March wind is blowing hard. I hope it is springy and warm where you are. Blessings.

  28. You have a beautiful smile, Connie. I love that photo! Boy, you were a very early blogger. I had a small little blog for a few weeks before my husband passed away in 2007. Kind of stopped blogging after that -- you understand, I know. Then picked it up again with a brand new blog in 2010. I've made some wonderful friends through my blog. You are one of them. Love you sweet friend. Keep blogging! Hugs.
