Cinnamon Puffs

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup milk

For toppings:
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix butter, sugar and egg thoroughly.  Mix flour, baking powder and nutmeg separately. Combine dry  ingredients with butter mix alternating with milk until mixed well.

Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes.

With the toppings ingredients: Melt your butter and set aside.  Combine to make your cinnamon sugar mix in another bowl. If you use white sugar it will look better but if you use brown sugar it will taste better - brown sugar is the key to a great cinnamon roll or in this case cinnamon muffin topping.

Immediately remove from muffin tins and roll in melted butter and then coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture.  Serve hot!

Serve with eggs and sausage for breakfast, great as a dessert, and awesome as an anytime snack!

Peach Smoothie

You can of course substitute any number of ingredients to get your favorite results.  Super quick and easy to make.

Try juice of orange, tangerine, mango, or pineapple if you must.
Try fruits, or combos of fruits, of banana, mango, blueberry, strawberry or peaches sweet sweet peaches.

1 cup yogurt
1/2 cup juice
1/2 cup diced fruit
2 ice cubes - crunched is best

Put all ingredients in the blender.  Blend using the "smoothie" button if you have one otherwise blend until smooth.  Viola! Done.

Beginning with crunched ice cubes worked the best for me. Depending on the fruit you use will determine the thickness and consistency.  Fruit can be frozen although thawed, or fresh or canned.  Try V8 Fusion for the juice as a sneaky way to add some veggies.

Enjoy!
