Not quuuuuiiiiite a Recipe Find

As you can tell by the title, this isn't quite a recipe find...more of a...tip.
Okay, so have you ever had the sudden urge for a muffin?  
 {No? Really? Not once have you had an inexplicable desire which could only be quenched by a muffin? ...Well, just pretend. For me.}
                                              ......
                                          *crickets*
                                              ......
Sooo, where were we?
Ah, yes. You want a muffin, but you don't want to make an entire batch. {well, of course you won't be able to get out of making the whole batch, but...just imagine you're you. From the future. At a time where you've already made the whole batch}

So, here is my solution! {but first a lovely strawberry muffin}

Strawberry Muffin Recipe
{via}


  • First, find a basic muffin recipe, you know,a sort of sugar cookie of the muffin batter world  :){this one or this one should probably work}
  • Second, whip up the batter
  • Third, empty the batter into a large plastic refrigerator/food container.


Some thing you can add to make it even more tasty:

  • blueberries
  • chocolate chips
  • cinnamon sugar
  • peanut butter :)
  • jam
  • to make it "healthier" you can also add a bit of ground flax seed...
  • strawberrrrries ...yummmm
  • really anything I guess...
Whenever the mood strikes you, take out a small ramekin or even a mug, put enough muffin batter to fill it at least a third of the way, add your mix-ins. Microwave for 2-4 min. Enjoy! :)

So, I hope this helps! ...Just remember to make the batter in advance... :)

Happy Thanksgiving!




Hi, everyone! Well, I'm actually writing this on Wednesday, because I'm sure
I'll be super busy tomorrow with dinner preparations {which I find much more fun and yummier than the actual meal! :)} as well as hangin' with the fam. ;)

So, today is Thanksgiving {at least here in the US...and, at least while you're reading this it is}. :)
I am so thankful for soooo many things :)

I'll list.... oh, only five of those things :)
Well, to start out, I'm thankful for loving parents who've raised me, a nice warm house, food, and wonderful family. ...But I won't count those  ;)
  1. I'm thankful for my God. {hehe, y'all just knew this one was coming ;)} I'm so thankful that He's here every day, always there to listen, heal, and reprove me. :)
  2. I'm thankful for the religious freedoms I have in this wonderful country I live in! I know that in many other countries, people are killed if they are simply found with a page of the Bible, or if they even talk about God. :( But, I am able to go to church and to pray {to the one and only God}!
  3. I know this seems kind of odd, but I also am thankful for my little cousin. :) She's almost 5 mo. old, and she brings me so much happiness! :)
  4. Although I do complain a lot {and am soon after ashamed} about it, I'm thankful for my schooling :) I've been able to get a much better education than many others even in the US, because of my homeschool education :)
  5. And last, but not least, I'm thankful for you followers :) Haha, I know that sounds so cheesy, but I truly am thankful for you guys!
Alright everyone! I hope you have a good Thanksgiving, and if you aren't celebrating Thanksgiving today, I'm sure y'all are thankful for something!
So, everyone, comment with what you're thankful for! :)

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
   and his courts with praise!
   Give thanks to him; bless his name!
{Psalm 100:4}

on talking to one's self

I have a confession to make.
I talk to myself.
Yeah, that's right, I talk to myself.

Through my experience, I've learned a few things. Such as: It's not smart to talk to yourself while walking through Walmart. You can earn some weird stares that way...

So, I've decided to share my learned knowledge on this topic by informing you of areas and places that are and are not acceptable for talking to one's self.  :)

Acceptable places to talk to one's self:
~In your bedroom, while alone
~Alone in the kitchen, baking cookies {It makes for a happy baker, therefore, happy cookies}
~While driving a car, if you can drive {I find it funny watching people talk on their blue tooths while in the car, and if you do talk to yourself while driving, everyone will just think you're talking through a blue tooth. ;)}
~While trying on clothes {after all, it is best to get a second opinion, or at least voice your thoughts ;)}
~When writing a blog post :)

Unacceptable places to talk to one's self:
~At Bath and Body Works {or any other perfumy places}Because, whereas you may not like that scent, the lady next to you happens to own two...or ten....bottles of it and is now buying up the lotion of the same kind}
~As stated before, while walking through Walmart
~In another crowded place, like the dinner table with your family {unless you don't mind telling them that you think the spider, who is on the ceiling, should be name Edwardo}
~While raking leaves....but, then again, go ahead and do it {feel free to start singing as well...throw in some random dance moves!} It amuses the neighbors
~While in bed at 3:00am
~While praying. Seriously.
~While staring at your fresh out of the oven cookies

Yep, I advise you follow that, and you won't have people thinking you're weird. Of course, though, if you do decide to start talking and singing while raking the leaves, They'll know it for sure :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This doesn't apply for everyone though. For example, if you have awesome friends and  family who enjoy listening to you talk to yourself {or at least just ignore it :P}.
These tips do also apply if you are into the habbit of talking to inanimate objects {which I may or may not do.....}
 
I hope these tips have helped you! ;)

                                                     Have a good day, girlies!
