Blueberries and Cream Muffins


Blueberries and Cream Muffins
12 servings

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
for filling
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the blueberries. Spoon about 2 round tablespoonfuls into greased muffin cups. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and salt; place about 1 tablespoon in the center of each muffin cup (do not spread). Top with remaining batter. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely and enjoy!

Five little chicks hatched yesterday,
and arrived at my local post office at 11:30 this morning!
I showed them how to get some water and food.

They were quick learners!

They are so very fun to watch!

My to-do list, didn't get done today! ;-)

That's ok though.

The Chick Brooder


I've been getting things ready
for the chicks to arrive!

fresh water

starter feed

pine shavings in the brooder box

And Mr. H. hung the heat lamp.

He spent lots of time getting
the level just right for the chicks.
They need the temperature in the brooder to be 95 degrees
for the first week.
After that we will raise the lamp each week
to lower the temperature 5 degrees.

Now all that's left is to wait for the post office to call! :-)
