Zuchini Bran Muffins w/raisins makes 3-4 doz

Here is a recipe I came up with a few years ago.
One of those were I had some ingredients on hand I needed to use.
I buy my bran in bulk at Winco and pay less than $1 for a bag full.

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 cups boiled water Mix bran and water till bran is moist
3 cups bran throughout, set aside.

1c sugar Beat sugars and oil until well blended.
1c brown sugar
1c oil

3 eggs Add eggs and vanilla, beat until blended.
2 tsp vanilla Add bran mixture, beat until blended.

Mixture may be soupy

3 cups flour Add sifted dry ingredients
1 TBS cinnamon alternately sith zuchini.
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda Stir well.
1 tsp baking powder

3 cups grated suchini

1 15oz box raisins Add raisins

Spay bottoms of muffins tins, fill 3/4 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
The muffins should be nice and moist. They will need to be refrigerated, ate quickly, or stored in the freezer. They usually don't last long at my house. They may stay good in a sealed bowl on the counter for up to 3 days.

I used dried cranberries this morning. I just use whatever I have on hand. A dear sister gave me some zuchini last week so I had to get out this recipe and use it.

Summer Fun

We are getting ready to go out to Oklahoma.........5 more days and counting. We are so anxious. Its been four years since we've been there. My list of things to do is almost done. For today I need to:

• Put up the sewing machine, material, patterns ect. (All finished with those summer outfits for this year and feeling a little sad)
• laundry
• clean the kitchen
• sweep and mop floors

Thursday night 5 of us dear sisters went to the Portland airport to pick up Bomshell, a country music group I've never heard of before. We ended up picking up the band and taking them to their hotel in Eugene. I got home about 4am, made my hubby some breakfast, and went to sleep on the couch for about 5 hours. My dear husband and I went to listen to them last night. It seems that country is starting to sound like rock.

Right about the time we were leaving last night they had a singer on that was singing classic country, more our style. Maybe tonight there will be some good ones. Maybe even some of that good gospel music.

Well time to get that list done and go help with the church garage sale........

Somethings in life you only do Once!!!

Here is a picture of the 3 and under sleepover we had. We made pizza together and had lots of fun. Things were going well until bedtime.....fortunately none of the young ladies cried for Mommy or home.....unfortunately none of them were ready to go to sleep. I eventually had to go in there and lay done with them. And I thought teenage and older girls were hard! The mattress was so uncomfortable that needless to say it got put on the top bunk the next day.
