Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

2/3 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 eggs
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut oil or butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine coconut flour, salt and baking soda.
2. In a large bowl combine eggs, honey, coconut oil and vanilla and blend well with a hand mixer.
3. Mix dry ingredients into wet, blending with a hand mixer.
4. Gently fold in blueberries.
5. Place batter in paper lined muffin tins.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. For Mini Muffins, 10-15 min.


Makes 12 muffins, 30 mini

By experimentation, I have found that coconut flour in recipes make things very dry, hence the six eggs. Also, the batter doesn't rise very much, so it looks the same coming out as it did going in. I used melted butter instead of coconut oil as well. Enjoy, and Happy Baking!



Oh, I almost forgot......

Breakfast Potatoes.

Making these is a great way to use leftover baked potatoes the next morning.  If you also cook bacon or sausage you can just saute them in the grease.  Remember...

"Fat gives things flavor."

~ Julia Child 

For the recipe :

Heat up a skillet over med-medium/high heat.  Melt a couple tablespoons of butter (or grease)  in the pan and add cold, diced potatoes.  Press them down with a spatula and let cook for about a minute, them flip and repeat on the other side.  Just keep cooking them til they're nice and brown and crunchy.  Oh yeah, throw some salt and pepper in there too.

Eady would destroy them by pouring ketchup all over the finished product, but if you're like me you'll want to serve them with scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage. 

Enjoy!

Welcome to our Kitchen!

Hey Everyone!!!!

We are so excited about starting this blog and hope that it will be a helpful source of tips, recipes, and encouragement!  Some the recipes you'll find here will be gluten free, others ~ not so healthy.....  :)   But no matter the food, we wish to share the JOY that always seems to come with creating something for family and friends to enjoy!
So come back to see more - we hope to post frequently.  (you cook every day, right?)

See you soon!

Lillian, Julia Eady, and Melissa Anne (not a contributing author - she's only three but she does "help" in the kitchen sometimes)

P.S.  We sort of owe the title of the blog to Melissa Anne.  She was insisting on playing "Tom Kitten" where she was Tom, Lillian was Samuel Whiskers, and Eady was Anna Maria.  (from The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter)  We had been mulling over blog names for several days, (actually Lillian was going crazy - it was all she could think about!) when this line was quoted:

"Anna Maria," said the old man rat (whose name was Samuel Whiskers) - "Anna Maria, make me a kitten dumpling, roly-poly pudding for my dinner."
      "It requires dough and a pat of butter, and a rolling pin, said Anna Maria....."

We stopped playing.  It was perfect!  (It was Eady's idea to use it as the title.)
 We guarantee there will be no recipes calling for kitten.
