Amazing Recipes

For Christmas, Jared's mom gave us the best cookbook I have ever used. Every single thing I have made has turned out to be delicious. It is called the Mormon Pantry: Family Dinner Cookbook by Debbie G. Harman. I have seen it at Deseret Book and I highly recommend it to everyone. It is smartly organized and has some great quotes in it as well. I also like it because most of the recipes use ingredients that you already have in your cupboard. I have included the recipe for Brown Sugar Muffins, which has become one of my absolute favorites. They are delicious!



Brown Sugar Muffins
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
~Cream butter, brown sugar, and eggs together. If desired, chop raisins and walnuts and stir into creamed mixture. Add soda and salt and mix well. Stir in milk and vanilla. Add flour and stir just until moist. Pour into greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. It makes about 20 muffins.

*I added a Tablespoon of vanilla, instead of a teaspoon, and it turned out delicious. If you like vanilla, I suggest that.

I also would recommend the Fruit Smoothies recipe (pg. 89), the Soft Carmel Popcorn (pg. 78), and the Sweet Hot Kettle Corn (pg. 79).
