Since I’ve been sick, we made different plans for our High School Huddle so that I didn’t need to host and cook for 35 people tonight. With all the different events going on through the end of the year, we actually won’t be hosting Huddle again until January. I guess I’ll enjoy a nice long break. :)
While cooking meat for today’s tacos, I’ll be cooking extra meat to use throughout the week for Taco Potatoes and Taco Corn Fritters. Just trying to be efficient with my time during the Christmas season!
We’ve enjoyed this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe so much. One reader, Emily, mentioned that she’s been making these Coconut Flour Muffins into Pumpkin Muffins – a great gluten free variety! I’m hoping to give those a try this week and report back with the specifics. There’s not much better than pumpkin and cinnamon this time of year.

Please post the pumpkin coconut flour muffin recipe!! I bought coconut flour via Amazon a few months ago- 3 bags came in the pack. And have tried a half dozen recipes and have not liked any of them so far. I find the flour to be just too dense- almost dry I guess. I’m so bummed that I have 2.5 bags (or more) left and so far don’t like using it. I would love to try the pumpkin recipe though!!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE the chocolate chip pumpkin muffin recipe, too!!! I made a big batch last night, and my husband gave some to a friend who stopped by and the neighbors! Everybody loves them. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 coconut oil and it works PERFECTLY. I am thinking about baking a massive amount and giving them out as Christmas gifts once my Azure Order comes in with more flour.
Thanks so much.

I am not baking yet but last week I made and froze all my main dishes for Christmas week. That way I can enjoy the grandchildren insead of spending all the time they are here in the kitchen. I did this last year and it was such a great load off me that week and I plan to do this every year!
Wow you are quite in the mood for Mexican this week!! :) Hope you are feeling better!!
Ha! No kidding – I thought of that as I was reading over my draft. I must want spicy stuff to clear out my sinuses. :)
I was wondering, how much do you pay for lamb? The cheapest cut here is $16/lb and goes upto $25/lb at the farmer’s market.
We usually get it from a local farmer for only $5/pound – a total steal for this quality of meat. You can get it from Tropical Tradtions for about $9 or $10 a pound, or a little more depending on the cut. http://tinyurl.com/d8uh7ne
