These yummy little muffins came about this morning after my four year old requested some PB & Jelly muffins last night. I thought about it a little and this morning I played around with a few ideas and ingredients to come up with this recipe. These will definitely be put on the rotating meal plans from here on out.
You could use chunky peanut butter and possibly add some chopped peanuts to the crumb topping if you wanted to. Continue reading “PB & Jelly Swirl Muffins”

I almost didn’t get this out today as I’ve been hard at work on a project which led to the discovery of many, many links that were not working. If you happen to find a link that isn’t working just let me know in the comments and I’ll try to get it fixed ASAP!
This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.
I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.
I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

National Blueberry Day is the day we celebrate the marvelous blueberry! Click here to learn more about this holiday. It is celebrated on July 8th.
We have a few blueberry bushes growing in the yard, but little Shyanne eats them as quick as they get ripe. One day, we may have enough to start freezing them so we can enjoy blueberry dishes all year round.
Here are some of our favorite blueberry recipes:
Plus, you can add blueberries to your yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes or waffles, and just eat them fresh for a snack.
