Rollin' 'Rollin' Rollin
A fabulous rolling pin is super helpful when making a delicious pie crust.
The pin, was my grandmothers, and I adore it.

I love holding it in my hands and imagining what all she made with it?
How many cookies?
Somehow using the pin that my grandmother used to lovingly prepare things for our family, makes me want to make more things for my family.
I know I'm weird.
I'm okay with that!
(well most of the time)

The pie crust I made with THIS recipe. Well at least pretty close to it...as you can see from the previous post I'm not one to follow recipes religiously or cautiously
measure ingredients. But it turned out yummy!
Granted it's filled with the ooey gooey yumminess of fudge pie!!

Do you know the muffin man??
I don't, so I got to make my own. I posted this recipe a few years ago HERE and decided it was worthy of reposting. 
Why am I double posting tonight? Well I'm supposed to be packing. I really have a ton to do....makes sense right? yeah....to my husband either, but I'm crazy that way.
But hey, we made these for my daughter and I have to have when we leave our house tomorrow on the little mini-trip I'm supposed to be getting ready for. Does that count?
We're leaving before the sun rises. Okay so maybe not really before the sun rises, but PERHAPS I don't really have a single clue when the sunrises lately because just PERHAPS since I've been back form church camp I've not been up early enough to have a single little clue. Just maybe I've been sleeping til....cough cough...well let's just say the sun is up.
MaryKyle and I decided to make these today after picking berries so we would have them to grab in the morning. We are heading to a homeschool convention with my sister and cousins (HOORAY!!!) this weekend and to visit dear friends of ours we've not seen in too long now!!
These are our very favorite muffins. The recipe is a super duper forgiving one. For the original recipe click the link above. Here's what I did to it today.
Blueberry Streusel Muffins
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla (oh just squirt some in)
1 egg
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup turbinado sugar (oops...I was out...used natural sugar instead)
1/4 tsp lemon extract (oops...just squirted in some lemon juice didn't measure that either though)
1 Tbsp Honey (totally out...we go through tons of raw honey in our house....just skipped it and added about a Tbsp more sugar)
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in what I thought looked like a yummy amount)
STREUSEL TOPPING
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar (guesstimated)
2 Tbsp butter, cold (guesstimated)
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees
2 grease bottoms only of 12 cup muffin tin
3. Beat the milk, oil, vanilla and eggs appx 2 min
4. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, lemon extract and honey (will be lumpy). Stir in blueberries.
5. divide batter among muffin cups.
6. Cut butter into flour and brown sugar with pastry blender for topping
7. sprinkle each muffin with appx 2 tsp topping
8. Bake 20-25 min or until golden brown.

Who needs cute shoes when you have squash?
Bought these Zephyr squash at our local farmers market from the local farmer where we always pick our strawberries!!
The kids said I just HAD to buy some because they matched my outfit that night. So of course, I did.
I mean, honestly, who doesn't love a coordinating squash now and then?? I had just thrown on some flip flops that night afterall...I was in need of a a little accessorizing!
I sliced them put them on a cookie sheet and drizzled on some olive oil, then some garlic powder, sea salt, thyme and pepper. Baked it at 450 and turned it halfway through the cooking. We all LOVED it!!
My sweet daughter decorated our table tonight on her own with no prompting. There's something about flowers in a mason jar that screams simplicity and loveliness to me!! Just love it!! And that she tore a piece of toile to tie around....yes I love that girl, she makes me smile from my inside out!
