experimental baking pays... sometimes!

Right when I clicked on the link to update my blog I remembered that I forgot. I forgot to take a picture... again. This time they were so pretty and deliciously yummy. Definitely will make these again. All 12 are GONE! Occasionally I make a recipe that turns out "ok" and I'm happy with that. These muffins were delicious and no one in my family even asked if they were healthy. I took a muffin recipe and revised it and was planning on tweaking it again but honestly I won't change a thing.
Brown rice flour has a tendency to be crumbly but these were not, they had a very good texture! I really wish I was getting paid for this commercial :)

2 cups brown rice flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin spice
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 cup choc chips

prepare muffin pan (i used liners) preheat oven to 325
whisk dry ingredients, add choc chips
whisk wet ingredients
add wet ingredients to dry, stir only until moist.

baking time will vary according to your oven. aprox 20 min. I started checking mine at 15...

walnuts or pecans would be very good as well.
I really can't wait to make these again!!!!

so.... a pic of pumpkins and coffee :)

it's american, no peruvian, no it's chili... wait........

Once again... the time to think about supper. It's like it's an every day thing or something :) I do love to cook and bake but I run out of creative juices from time to time. Yesterday I was trying to figure out something make with left over hamburgers Jeffrey had grilled. I had brown rice, a bag of fiesta vegetables, and a few cans of tomato stuff so I decided to see what I could throw together. "Throw together" can be very rewarding or very scary! In this case, it was very rewarding AND we had enough leftovers to have for lunch today! The problem is, I can't think of a name for it... grilled hamburger, vegetable, peruvian chili and rice just doesn't roll off of the tongue very easily. Here is approximately what I did, throw togethers never have exact measuring, it's a taste thing.
sauted onions in butter because well... it's yummy!
added cilantro, cumin, paprika and aji (peruvian pepper)
1 can each of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and garbanzo beans
pinched up the hamburger patties
added the bag of fiesta vegetables and a dash of Worcestershire sauce
let simmer for... I really have no idea, just until I thought it was done (maybe 20 min)
I did have to add some water so it was not so thick.
The rice was cooking ever so patiently in my rice steamer (best gift EVA!)
My only regret... I didn't get a picture. This stuff was so pretty and yummy! I love old comfort foods with the familiar flavors but occasionally it is something awesome to find a new flavor that is extremely good! I crunched up corn chips and put sour cream on mine.... did I mention it was yummy?!?!?!?!

so what do I do when I don't have a picture of the food I make... use a picture of PUMPKINS! :) makes sense in my brain!
