Ohhh. I just thought of another really good one...not for muffins but for biscuits! SWEET POTATO BISCUITS 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1-1/4 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional) 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes 3/4 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar) 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted (you could also use oil) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and nuts (if using). In another bowl, combine sweet potatoes, sugar, butter (or oil), and vanilla; add to flour mixture and mix well. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead slightly. Roll (or pat) dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter and place on a lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Banana muffins: 1-1/2 c flour 1 t baking powder 1 t baking soda 1/2 t salt 1/2 t nutmeg 3/4 t cinnamon 3 bananas, mashed 1/2 c white sugar 1/4 c brown sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/3 c melted butter or oil 1 t vanilla topping: 1/3 c brown sugar 2 T flour 1/4 t cinnamon 1 T butter/shortening Preheat oven to 375, lightly grease muffin cups or use liners. In large bowl, mix flour, soda, powder, salt, spices. In another bowl, beat bananas, sugar, egg, butter/oil, vanilla. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon into muffin cups. In small bowl, mix topping ingredients, cut in butter/shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Sprinkle over muffins. Bake for 18-20 minutes. NOTE: sometimes I'll add cut up strawberries or blueberries, etc into batter.

You could always go to good chiropractor. They would be able to tell you what the cause of the pain is and what to do to relieve it.

Just looked at the Keen sandals on their website...I just might have to find a local store - the new Paradise Sandal looks really cute and comfy!

We have a child with a milk allergy, so we all switched to organic rice milk...even for cooking. They have rice milk with their cereal, but none of them actually drink it as a beverage. They drink water...and love it. Occasionally they'll get a small glass of organic juice, but mainly it's good ol' water for us!

Thank you all for posting all these wonderful books! I've been downloading from google books like crazy. Now all I have to do is decide on which one(s) I want to use.... ...and I take forever weighing out all my options, so I'd better get to it!
