The box caught my eye, and when I read all of the other stuff, I thought, I will try these in the spirit of FAL!!!<br /><br />the muffins are a hit - Lexi has had 2 today and Rob even said they are good. I think I threw the box out, but I might buy another box this week anyway and will send you the list of ingredients!<br /><br />KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135025811981362372.post-31620053143527035372010-02-20T21:02:15.969-07:002010-02-20T21:02:15.969-07:00Hoot Hoot Kel!

Please, let us know how the muffins are, and, if you like, send me the empty box and I can take a look at the quality of ingredients ... you know I don't have a TJ's here in the mountains. boo.<br /><br />xoErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429897670200781848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135025811981362372.post-21259608678084401412010-02-20T15:23:22.124-07:002010-02-20T15:23:22.124-07:00happy weekend FAL'ers!!
As Erin knows, baking...happy weekend FAL'ers!!<br /><br />As Erin knows, baking is NOT my strong suit. So when I see a mix that looks good, I go for it. <br /><br />I just took out of the oven some muffins made from a Trader Joe's mix. Someone must have told TJ's about Erin's blog, b/c the mix is a Triple Berry Bran Muffin Mix, made with a "blend of whole grain whole wheat flour, wheat and oat bran, rolled oats and ground flaxseed." 7 grams of fiber per muffin!<br /><br />granted, I'm sure there is sugar in the mix, but this seems like a step above Betty Crocker. I will let you guys know how they taste.<br /><br />KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135025811981362372.post-73070291250087987302010-02-19T11:32:59.895-07:002010-02-19T11:32:59.895-07:00I have been a longtime fan of spaghetti squash, bu...I have been a longtime fan of spaghetti squash, but our relationship has grown distant over the last year or so ;-) We'll have to reaquainted b/c it really is SO GOOD. <br /><br />I made the brown rice with butternut squash recipe on Wed night. I thought it was great! Rob did not say either way what he thought, but he ate it, and I noticed when I got home last night that the leftovers were gone.....I also packed some leftovers for Lexi's lunch, so I'm thinking we're 3 for 3 at the Stone household on this new recipe ;-) <br /><br />thanks Erin and everyone for the new ideas!

On a separate note, the exercise challenge that you gave us all encouraged me to get over a fear of mine and try a new class at the gym. I have watched this class while on the elliptical machine through the window for the past two months trying to determine if I was able for it. It's a weight and abs class. After I read your post about how good weights are for you I had a little talk with myself and told myself I should go to the class and get a place by the door and if it got too hard, leave. I would never know if I didn't try it. So I went and I survived. I even liked it. Typing is agonizing because my arms are so sore, but they'll gt stronger. Thanks for giving me the boost to do something I had been wanting too but didn't have the courage.<br />Enjoy the weekend!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050655152027272267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135025811981362372.post-81165612809842650882010-02-19T05:34:52.629-07:002010-02-19T05:34:52.629-07:00SLM -- I agree.

Not fun.<br /><br />I'm sharing a butternut squash soup recipe that is easy (once you get done peeling and chopping the squash), tasty and pretty healthy.<br /><br />1 T olive oil<br />2 -3 lbs. butternut squash, peeled and chopped into one-inch pieces.<br />3 large carrots, chopped<br />1 medium onion, chopped<br />1 t minced fresh ginger<br />2 quarts veggie stock or cold water<br />1/8 cup grated orange zest<br />1 bunch parsley, chopped<br />pinch of nutmeg<br />salt and pepper to taste<br /><br />Heat olive oil over medium heat in large sauce pot. Saute the squash, carrots, onion and ginger for three minutes, until they are lightly browned. Add the stock or water and orange zest, and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the parsley, nutmeg, sat and pepper. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.<br /><br />Serves 8 to 10.Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135025811981362372.post-66428752788420876922010-02-19T04:34:48.901-07:002010-02-19T04:34:48.901-07:00I would also like you to know that I made the spag...I would also like you to know that I made the spaghetti squash too and so did Tisha and we LOVED it!<br /><br />Also, i have a butternut squash sitting on my counter. Is there something easy I can do with it? Easy, Erin.

Without a good, sharp knife, slicing squash open can be very dangerous.<br /><br />It's slightly less delicious if it involves a trip to the Emergency Room.<br /><br />Smiles, KSouthLakesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.com
