Yummy & EASY Blueberry Muffins

This weekend I decided to try this recipe out of Taste of Home magazine to make blueberry muffins.  It used pancake mix as the base, and I was a little skeptical, but it turned out well and they were SO yummy!  I have lots of pancake mix around as it is something I can buy at the LDS cannery here, so I was excited to find another use for it!!!  I made a second batch this morning, and added some raspberries too.  I also doubled the batch as the recipe as is only yields about a dozen full size muffins.  Anyway, I thought I would share it!  Give it a try and tell me what you think!

Kids' Favorite Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups pancake mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine pancake mix and sugar.  In another bowl whisk the egg, water (I added about 1/4 cup water in addition to what the recipe calls for here because my batter seemed too thick) and oil.  Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.  Fold in blueberries.

Fill paper lined muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake at 400F for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack.

Note:  If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

They look yummy! I wonder if I can use Bisquick in place of the pancake mix?

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

A good mail day

Yesterday was an awesome mail day! I got my swaps from Jody (texasjodylynn). Let me explain, each month, Jody and I swap three things -- cards, 3D objects (usually), and sometimes goodies we find that we think the other person might like. We have done this for about 6 months I think. Well yesterday I got the most amazing Jody package. Here are a few pictures of the stuff inside. The chocolate box was made with designer paper and said "You make life sweet" on top and inside there were some yummy dove chocolates. Seriously, dark chocolate is the BEST! Next I found this most gorgeous purse with some treasures inside it. Some gems and some princess brads, and a harry potter bookmark. The purse itself is amazing. I asked Jody how she did it and she said with chalk and craft inks and lots of embossing powder. It just shines. It is just so amazing. She put in so many brads and she said she even had to use a drill on it. Amazing! I avoid scary tools like drills wher...
