Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Halloween Muffins


That would be Kupcake's name for the recipe, since we used Halloween cupcake liners for some of the muffins.

I altered this recipe from Homesick Texan some because of allergies and chocolate addiction.  I will list original ingredients for those of you who aren't allergic to nuts and coffee, and aren't addicted to chocolate (sad for you).  Not sure how they will turn out for you as I've only made them this way.  I used spelt flour because I already had some ground, and didn't want to both grinding whole wheat flour.  Kupcake thinks they maybe need some ganache (chocolate frosting ;) ) on top.... I LOVE HER!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Halloween Muffins
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat or spelt flour (recipe called for almond flour here)
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking soda
  • 2½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • (I omitted the 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder altogether)
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 7 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¾bag ghirardelli 60% cacao chocolate chips (Kupcake and I ate the other ¼ bag)
  • (we omitted this altogether as well ⅓ - ½ cup Nutella)
    •  
     
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees  F. Line 16 muffin cups with muffin liners.  In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (coconut flour through the salt).  If your coconut flour is lumpy, be sure to sift it into the dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (eggs through the vanilla).  Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined.  Mix in chocolate chips and pour the batter evenly into the muffins cups. 
     (We didn't do this part: Put about 1 – 1½ teaspoons of Nutella on top of each muffin and swirl it around with a toothpick).

    Bake the muffins for 13 – 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.Cover the muffins and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (2 days at room temperature is also okay).

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa

Angelia Style "Chicken Fundido"

We're not sure what to call it, but it's FABULOUS and may replace my weekly (okay, it might be 2-3 times a week) "Taco Salad" meal.  Only Bryson and I eat the actual taco salad, and we're also the only ones eating this. :) Ingredients: However much chicken breast you have on hand Leftover pinto beans, refried beans, or canned black or red beans Sliced onion Mexican/Taco Seasoning Olive oil So we cut our chicken breast into strips, and sprinkled with the Homemade Mexican/Taco Seasoning we made.  Then I grilled onions in some olive oil until cooked through, and removed them.  Then I grilled the chicken in the olive oil until they were cooked through, and added the onions and the beans until all was heated through.  Then top with cheddar cheese,  cover with a lid and turn it off. THEN YOU EAT IT. I just eat it straight, but you could use tortillas (I wasn't up to making them tonight) or tortilla chips. Fab-O!
