Incredible-Lee She's Here!

Taylor Lee Hickle
has decided that this week was her week!
She has deemed December 22 as her birthday!

She arrived at 3:23am after a relatively quick delivery
and weighed in at 7lbs 12oz
with a "height" of 19.5 in

Look how PRIM and PROPER she already is!
Such great manners
folding her hands
as she praises Jesus for His arms of protection!

Merry Christmas to you!

Cherry Muffins

We made a very yummy breakfast this morning.
My mother-in-law sent us two jars of her home-canned cherries
on our anniversary,
and these are some of our favorite things.
We eat them straight out of the jar, with a spoon!
I also have enjoyed experimenting with baking
and using some of her cherries.
The flavor is fantastic!

So...
I created
Cherry Muffins
In blender
(we use our magic bullet):

1 egg
1 Tbsp oil
1/4 c white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3 c. milk
Cream these together.
1 c. Bisquik mix
I add it little by little,
mixing as I go.

3 tsp cherry syrup
about 10 cherries pitted, roughly chopped
(I think if you wanted to use fresh cherries
you could do it,
and just add some white grape juice instead of syrup
and an extra Tbsp of sugar)
Add these straight to the batter
and turn on the blender.
It will turn purple.
So pretty!

Pour batter into greased muffin cups.
Top each muffin cup with three pieces of cherry.

Bake at 400 degrees
13 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

Enjoy!
Mmmmm!
