Meal planning Monday and a recipe for Pumpkin Apple muffins

 Several of the apples that came in my Farmers to Families box were bruised so I decided to make muffins out of them. The recipe comes from Taste of Home. They are a pretty dense muffin and great for breakfast. It makes 18 muffins

Apple Pumpkin Muffins

  •  Free Apple Cliparts, Download Free Apple Cliparts png images, Free ClipArts  on Clipart Library
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  •  2 cups finely chopped peeled tart apples

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. 
 
Here is our menu plan for the week, we still have a lot of food left from the food boxes, so I am going to be able to continue my cupboard stock up plan, yay!
