New Recipe I made this week-very economical

Sausage Quiche

1 lb. sausage, browned and drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
2 regular pie crust (not deep)

Beat eggs, add cheese, milk and sausage; stir. Divide mixture evenly between pie crusts. Bake 40-50 minutes at 300 degrees. Extra cheese may be sprinkled on after putting mixture in crusts, if desired. Makes 2 pies. Have one now and freeze one for later!

I served this with grapes and crescent rolls this week. My family and guests really enjoyed it.

Try it. I think you'll like it too.

Snickerdoodle Muffins

Not sure where I found this recipe. It is a good one. My house smells like Snickerdoodles today! Just a simple recipe full of simple homemade goodness!


Snickerdoodle Muffins

Topping:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Batter:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal, uncooked
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare 36 mini-muffin pan cups or 12 standard muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray or paper liners.

Prepare topping by combining sugar and cinnamon in small bowl and set aside.

Make batter by combining flour, oatmeal, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well.

In a small bowl, combine milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract. Blend well. Add to dry ingredients all at once. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle topping evenly over tops of muffins. Bake: 12 to 14 minutes for mini-muffins and 18 to 22 for regular muffins, or until light golden brown. Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm.
