On HubPages there is a hubber that has challenged hubbers to write 100 hub pages in 30 days or 30 hub pages in 30 days. I am taking the challenge! This will be hard for me as my thought process doesn't always function well since my major illness in 2008. But, I am going to put my best effort into this.
Come and visit me and see what I am writing. It has a lot to do with my whole life in stages.

I finally got my 1000 piece Angel Kisses puzzle finished! Took me two years, but it is done. I have got 3 sealer coats on it(will probably put some more). Now, I have to wait for hubby to make the frame for it. It was some challenge. So, relieved it is together.

These raisin bran muffins have become a must to make each week. They are hubby's favorite and they are very expensive when you buy them at the store now. They were bran. Well, I went online and searched for a receipt and came up with this one. It is fantastic! I vary it a bit depending if we have applesauce or not. Great with or without applesauce. Cooking time varies. Just experiment until you get what you like. I double the batch to make them larger.

Post Raisin Bran Muffins Ingredients
1 1/4 c Flour
1/2 c Applesauce
1 tb Baking powder
1/3 c Brown sugar; packed
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Margarine; melted, (can use
2 c POST raisin bran cereal
1/3 c Dried apricots; chopped,
1 c Skim milk
Cinnamon sugar; (*optional,
1 Egg; slightly beaten
Instructions for Post Raisin Bran Muffins
Heat oven to 400 (375 if you are making extra large muffins, as I do).
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Mix cereal and milk in a separate bowl and let stand 3 minutes.
Add to the cereal and milk, the egg, applesauce, sugar and margarine.
Add to flour mix, with the apricots if you are using them, and stir
until just moistened. Pour into sprayed muffin pan, (sprinkle with
cinnamon-sugar, if desired) and bake 20 minutes until golden. Makes 12.
NOTE, if you like the extra large (Texas-sized ) muffins like I do, bake at 375,
for 20-30 minutes (closer to 30, but check at 20). Makes 6
The tops meet when cooking and I thought I did something wrong but that just happens. Let your mix set for a few minutes before putting into pan.

"Little Visitor" is a tiny lizard I found wandering around our house earlier in the day. It went up over the fireplace front and mantle onto a window curtain topper. I tried several times to get it outdoors but is went in the opposite direction. Hubby took these pictures.



It was weird when it crawled onto my hand my hand actually had a numb feeling (very scary). It is still in the house wandering somewhere. It is just a baby as I have seen them much larger. We have no idea how they get into the house.
