Red Velvet Cream Cheese Muffins? Perfect!

I remember looking through the Prairie Woman cookbook with our daughter Amy.

When she came across the red velvet cake recipe we both decided right there and then that we needed to make it.

And we did.

We don’t eat a lot of cake at our house, we are usually more of a pie and cookie family, but this was a huge exception and it has been one of our family favorites ever since.

Baking a cake is a bit of a commitment. I mean, unless you are having company over, a whole cake is a lot of yummy goodness sitting around and seriously, I just don’t have the highest level of will power.

Plus, since it doesn’t have frosting on the top it is a totally pack-able treat that doesn’t need to be refrigerated to keep the icing from melting off on a hot day. Yeah, this one is definitely a huge win.

This is what Jennifer has to say about her yummy treat.

These muffins were a huge hit and the first “dessert” that everyone devoured. They were so bright and cheerful that you can’t help but want to dive right in and eat all of them.

Quick Tip: If you have little ones at your house or are just considering a bit more portion control, try making these in the mini-muffin pans. Perfect for those little tea parties.

If this is what a salad looks like all I can say is Bring it on!

Enticing my kids to eat their vegetables is like trying to turn cleaning their room into a game. It only works if you are Mary Poppins!

Packed with vegetables, crisp apples, craisins, and walnuts this is as satisfying to the taste buds as it is pleasing to the eye.

Face it, I haven’t heard very many people say the eat too many vegetables, but with a recipe like this, getting your tribe to eat their greens won’t be too difficult. In fact, they might even ask for a second helping!

USE THE RED NEXT PAGE LINK BELOW FOR THE INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS.

Quick Tip: Mix up salad, put in a large Zip-Loc bag, and keep in refrigerator until you are ready to use. Then just pour in dressing, shake and put into a bowl for serving.
