Wow these are tasty. I make a big batch of muffins once a week and freeze them. I have been making this one with either blueberries or banana's a whole lot. My family loves em.


1 1/2 c whole wheat flour (I've used white or whatever I've got with no problems)
1 t. baking soda
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 c rapadura, sucanat (natural sweeteners) or sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c. butter or melted coconut oil

crumb topping:
2 T flour
1/8 t. cinnamon
1 T butter
1/4 c sugar (brown, white, natural, etc)

Preheat oven to 375. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. In another bowl mix bananas, sugar, egg and butter. Mix wet bowl ingredients to dry until just moistened. Spoon 3/4 way full in muffin cups. In small bowl stir together topping ingredients. Sprinkle topping on each muffin and bake for 18-20 minutes until done.

*can replace banana's with 1 c fresh/frozen blueberries and 3/4 c. applesauce. We love both variations!


Cumin Chili

I find myself making a whole lot of soups this winter. We live somewhere pretty cold and it's such a comfort food. Soups can be thrown together quickly and made pretty cheap. We really like this variation on Chili using lots of cumin - a spice I'm pretty much obsessed with.


2-3 t. minced garlic
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
28 oz. can any kind canned tomatoes
2 T. tomato paste
1 T. cumin
1 t. basil
1 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
15 oz. can rinsed and drained kidney beans.

Cook garlic and beef in a medium saucepan. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer until thick. You can always add a can of corn or chopped up green pepper and onion.

Oh how I wish I could eat this with corn chips but that's not an option for me here in Asia :) We enjoy bread or crackers with it.
