Turkey Spinach Wrap

This is a quick, easy and healthy snack. All you need is deli turkey slices and fresh spinach.  Place fresh spinach leaves on the edge of a thick deli slice of turkey.  (We get ours from Costco...Kirkland brand.)  Roll the spinach up into the turkey, like a taquito.  Wrap a few while you are at it.  Two to four rolls make a nice snack/meal depending on how hungry you are.  YUM!  (You spread a little hummus on the turkey slices before filling/rolling with spinach.)

Blueberry Muffins

Yield:  12 muffins

Muffins are delicious for breakfast or dessert.  The blueberries make the muffins extra moist and yummy.  They pop while they cook and create great bursts of color.

Ingredients:
4 Tbs. unsalted butter
2 cups self-rising flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 lemon, finely grated zest (optional)
1 cup plain yogurt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
9 oz. blueberries

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.  Melt the butter in a pan, then set aside to cool.  Sift the flour into a bowl, and mix the baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest.

Make a well in the center of the flour.  Mix the yogurt, eggs, and cooled melted butter together in a large pitcher, then pour into the dry ingredients.

Add the blueberries.  Mix until just combined, but don't overmix or the muffins will be heavy.

Spoon evenly into the paper liners and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and springy.  Cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Tips:  Juice the lemon you are using for zest and add juice to muffin mix.  Add more zest, too. I like them with more lemon flavor.  You can freeze prepared muffins for up to two months to have at a later date.

Cleaning up is an important part of cooking.

 

Fresh out of the oven!

The blueberries really do pop out during baking.  They don't look like regular smooth-top muffins.  These babies are deliciously chunky.  Be cautious if using baking cups.  The blueberries can make them stick pretty good to the muffin itself, so peeling them off is not always easy.

I could eat these all day!
