For year my grandmother has been making doughnut muffins, and for years we have been asking for the recipe with no avail. Recently my youngest sister stayed with Nana for a few days and managed to get the recipe. I vow not to with hold the recipe any longer.
Doughnut Muffins
*Makes 8 muffins
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Topping
1/2 stick butter melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed into 1/3 cup sugar
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg. Beat well. Mix dry ingredients together and add alternately with milk to first mixture. Bake in greased muffin tins in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Can be used plain, or while still warm, dip muffin in melted butter and then in cinnamon/sugar mixture.
The family LOVES these muffins, and we typically only get them at Christmas. This week, Nana told me she would make some to bring down in October! Super excited about that!

Summer is quickly coming to a close, having to go back to school in approximately 2 weeks. As I look at the very aggressive to-do list I made for myself at the beginning of the summer, I realize that while I have done quite a bit, there is still a lot on the list that I wished to do.
I am very glad that the nursery is almost completely done. We have some wall art that needs to be completed, and still need the mattress and some cleaning out of the closet to do, but otherwise, things are starting to come together. It is starting to look like we are getting ready for Baby Lilley to join our little family. The quilt is completely done, the bed skirt is done, furniture is put together and in place, the extra bed that was in the room is no longer there, and we are starting to gather other baby needs.
Being home this summer had also provided me with the opportunity to try many new recipes, including chocolate zucchini bread, sweet and sour chicken, saltine chocolate toffee goodness, chocolate peanut butter truffles and many others. It has been quite the adventure.
Not only have we had adventures in the kitchen, but we also made a road trip out to see my grandfather in Michigan. It was a very nice trip, and we are glad that we made it, although it was a long one for a weekend. We have also enjoyed our many doctor's appointments, always anticipating hearing the heartbeat, our favorite part of the appointment.
