Wednesday the youngest grandson chipped a tooth at school and was in quite a bit of pain and I just focused on his needs.
Thursday my husband had an outpatient procedure done on his back and it was stressful but so far, it’s seeming like it might be a success- it takes time to know for sure but we are thankful it went as well as it did.
So Friday, I tired to catch up doing all the things I didn’t do Wednesday and Thursday. I got a lot done but I also wore myself out.
I’m pretty sure y’all can all relate……
So on to today
I’ve been looking for a good blueberry muffin recipe. I’ve tried several but they weren’t as good as I hoped. Y
I baked this version from an older Betty Crocker cookbook this morning. They were great!
2 of them are streusel-less as one grandson said he didn’t like streusel 🤷🏻♀️
I made the recipe exactly as written except I used wild frozen blueberries and added more cinnamon to the streusel.
We needed a few groceries so I went to Walmart this morning.
I didn’t look at all the prices but I was shocked to see the cheapest eggs were $3.08 for 1 dozen and small watermelon were $8.47!
Thankfully we have 2 sources of home raised eggs.
But I’m guessing all of you are seeing these shocking grocery price increases.
We had a really nice treat today that was free.
My daughter entered a contest sponsored by a new local company that specializes in charcuterie type snacks and 6
She won a dozen snack cups.
The cups were identical and I’ll try to list everything in 1 cup
Chocolate covered cashews and in shell pistachios on the bottom
A giant strawberry and 2 blueberries on a skewer
Giant grapes on another skewer
Mini Stroop waffle cookie
A flat pretzel cracker dipped in chocolate
A salami rose
Long piece of cheese- maybe a mild cheddar?
A long pretzel and a twizzler
All 7 of us thought these were a very fun treat.
This is not something I will buy but we live in a college town and I expect this business will do very well here.

Sorry for all the health problems. That was a nice treat she won.
ReplyDeleteHope all are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bird flue has made eggs go up. Still a whole lot of protein packed in a little item - so I don't mind paying. Watermelons won't even begin to be in season in my area for a long while.
What cute snacks! Nice win!!!!
Have a great week.
That muffin recipe has been taped in my cabinet door for at least 30 years! I have found that yellow cake mix makes a great muffin topper and so I stopped making streusel toppings because I hate the fussy time involved. I have shared that recipe many times over the years because everyone likes it.
ReplyDeleteI love those prizes! What a fun treat for a busy week!
Thank you for taking the time to work on BEDA this month, Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteHope that Jeff is feeling better and that this procedure is a help.
My husband always likes to try recipes he finds on-line and I'm always telling him to go back to the tried and true like Betty Crocker. Yeppers, prices are certainly going up. My neighbor was telling me how much her dog's food was, and I was shocked. Hoe your husband is doing well!

Do take care of yourself! Those treat cups... what a nice surprise! And I'm sorry to hear about the tooth. I hope he's feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThose charcuterie cups look fun! I'm sure everyone enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Jeff is feeling better. Greg had three doc appointments in the last week - two check-ups and a consultation. All is well, thank goodness.
I went to the store early this morning and while food prices have been increasing here and there, today it was really noticeable. Things seemed to have taken a big jump since I shopped last week.
