I have been making these for years. I used to make them in bread form, but having 7 children it was just easier to dole out a muffin than cut up the messy loaf. I also began giving these out as Christmas food gifts. This was requested by my 17-year-old son for our dessert we have to bring to his football banquet. My 21-year-old daughter who moved to Ogden, Utah with her husband and 2 kids wants to make these muffins for her in-laws who will be spending the Thanksgiving holidays with them.

Slow Cooker Borscht
The best thing about this borscht recipe (other than its delicious flavor) is that you can cook it all day long in the slow cooker and it will be waiting for you when you come home at night. This is one of my family's ultimate winter comfort foods.
Thai Peanut Chicken
This Thai peanut chicken dish with broccoli is cooked in a spicy sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne; if you like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low-sodium soy sauce.
