Don't you just wish you lived by us?




This year we're giving yummy homemade muffin mixes to friends and neighbors. My mom did something similar to this when I was a kid and I remember the neighbors loved it and looked forward to it every year. I got a cookbook from Tim's great-grandma at the family reunion called "Make-A-Mix Cookery," and it had a great recipe for "Melt-In-Your-Mouth Muffins" and they are yummy!! Ann and I got together and made 47 mixes last night. We mixed up the dry ingredients and all that needs to be added is milk and an egg. Easy and delicious--one of my favorite combinations!

What a great idea! I think my mom might have this cookbook. Does it have a doughnut recipe in it? If it does it's so good!

Aren't Spanish Forkians considered your neighbors? :) Those look Yumm-O (in the words of Rachael Ray). Okay, spill it...you need to share the mix recipe. Melt in your mouth? Again, Yumm-O!

It was fun making all those mixes and we did it in only abt 2 hrs...even with Tim having to go get more supplies because this grandma only bought half of what we needed! Thanks for the idea, Katie.

Jen: Yep, it has a dough-nut recipe. Maybe that's what we'll do for New Year's Eve . . .

Guess who I just heard from? Aubrey & Jake. I'll forward their letter onto you so you can see how cute their kids are--blondies like yours.
