    Caramel Apple Muffins

    Muffin Monday!  I made these muffins over the weekend and they were a big hit.  They have a bit of a caramel surprise in the center that makes them and extra special treat. The apple flavor really comes through and they were great for breakfast as well as an afternoon snack.

    I may need an intervention when it comes to dulce de leche.  I love that stuff!  I also need a break after the weekend, a day off you know.

    Friday I went shopping and it had been a while.  I left Sam's with a flat cart and a buggy full.  It took me forever to get everything put away.  (Thank goodness my niece came along to help or I would've never made it to the car!) But no more protests from the kids about being out of food.  Have I mentioned how much food it takes to feed two six-foot teenagers! Holy Moly!

    We gave the big tractor a bath, the boys harrowed some of the hay meadows, we raked and burned leaves from the yard, did a mountain of laundry, and went to a barbecue in between watching cows.  Whew.

    How was your weekend?
