I saw the request for snack mixes and had gone to look for one in my recipe box and
discovered I lost mine. Mine was from either Taste of Home or Quick Cooking and was
about 8 or 9 years ago. It called for about 1/2 bottle of Orville Redenbacher's Popping &
Topping Buttery Flavor Oil, Bugles, Cheese Nips, Chicken-in-a-biscuit crackers, several
other kinds of crackers and probably pretzels. I remember that it sure wasn't low-fat
because my husband & I renamed it "Heart attack by the handful". Needless to say, we
didn't make it too often.

I would sure appreciate it if anyone had a recipe similar to / or the original to share. I was
thinking about making it for a Super Bowl party.

I am looking for a recipe for muffins that kids will like. I have a three year old who wants
'cupcakes' without icing ALL THE TIME !! I would like to be able to give him a healthy
snack instead of just cake!

You are all heroes, so I need to call on you for ideas again. My daughter has treat day coming up for pre-school. They like to stay with the theme of the day for snacks. My daughter's day is FROG DAY! (of all things) Now what in the world can I make that has to do with frogs?!?! HELP!

This recipe uses "sour milk." I think it just a substitute for having to buy buttermilk for
such a small amount. The only information I have is: To substitute buttermilk, use 1 T
vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1 cup. Since this recipe only calls for 2
tablespoons, you'll have to wing it or do the math. Here is
recipe:

Phyllis's Banana Bread

1 c sugar
1/4 c butter
2 eggs, beaten
2 T sour milk
1 t baking soda
2 c flour
1/2 t salt
3 large bananas, mashed
1 c chopped walnuts

1. Cream together sugar, butter and eggs.
2. Dissolve soda in sour milk
3. Sift flour and salt together

Combine 1 and 2. Mix in 3. Mix in mashed bananas and nuts. Bake in greased loaf pan
for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Here are 3 really good muffin recipes. None of them require frosting and they are all quite
different.

Oatmeal Muffins

1 c quick-cooking rolled oats
1 c buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c chopped dates (optional)
1/2 c chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup trail mix or raisins (optional)

Mix all ingredients and spoon into greased or paper lined muffin tins. Bake at 400
degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 8 muffins. Maripat sparksrm@email.msn.com

Note – salt does not double if you double the recipe. For triple recipe use scant 1 tsp
salt.
Note- If you won't use a quart of buttermilk, buy powdered buttermilk which works really
well in recipes and lasts forever if kept in the refrigerator. (I once had a container of it in
my refrigerator for about 10 years and it still tasted fine and worked well in recipes.)

NOT Peter Rabbit’s Favorite Muffins (not as healthy, but good anyway)

1 white or yellow cake mix
2 jumbo eggs or 3 medium or large eggs
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup zucchini (or other summer squash), shredded
1 cup carrots, shredded
1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
½ tsp apple pie spice
2 tsp cinnamon
Vegetable cooking spray or cupcake papers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain pineapple. Grate zucchini and carrots. Stir spices
into cake mix. Mix in eggs, applesauce, pineapple, grated carrots and zucchini. Beat with
mixer for 1 minute on low, 3 minutes on high. Put a scant 1/3 cup in each muffin cup.
Bake 22 to 35 minutes, checking after 22 minutes until toothpick inserted in middle
comes out clean. Makes about 30 muffins

Orange Muffins

1 whole orange
1/2 cup orange juice
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins

Cut whole orange, skin and all, into four wedges. Remove any seeds and drop into
blender or processor. Add the orange juice and process to puree consistency. Add egg,
oil and sugar and beat until blended. In a separate bowl, stir dry ingredients together and
then add to orange mixture and stir by hand jut enough to combine thoroughly. Gently stir
in raisins and spoon into 12 greased muffin tins. Bake 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes

This banana bread recipe is for Annie. Maybe this is the recipe she's looking for.

Banana Bread

1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of shortening, I have always used Crisco.
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon sour milk (Sour milk with a bit of vinegar)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 bananas, mashed (Use bananas that are quite brown
and fragrant for the best tasting bread. I always save
the over-ripe ones for this recipe.)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of white flour
1/2 cups of chopped walnuts

Cream the white sugar and shortening well. Add the eggs and beat together. Mix the
sour milk and baking soda together and add to egg mixture. Mix well. Add the salt,
mashed bananas and nutmeats. Add the flour and mix only to moisten, do not beat.
Put in a greased loaf pan and let set for 15 minutes before you bake. Put in a 375 degree
oven and bake for about 1 hour. It will have a crack down through the middle and be nice
and brown when it is done. Test for doneness by inserting a tooth pick in the center. If it
comes out dry it's done. If it comes our with batter on it let it bake a bit longer. My
Grandmother always tested it with a broom straw but I think nowadays a toothpick would
be a little better. For the holidays you can add some green and red maraschino cherries.
