re: Recipes post some :)

Quoting No Palin in my Vajayjay!:“ I am the worlds worst cook. I can make about 10 different reg. dinner items and that's it. This came ... [snip!] ... antsy a few times and it was under cooked. Just follow the directions on the turkey and you'll have one hella good bird  ”

Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

1 large orange
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup orange juice
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice ( I used almost 2 tablespoons)
8 oz cream cheese
2 Tbs light corn syrup
1 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lina a muffin pan with muffin papers. Cut orange into wedges; remove seeds. Place orange wedges (peel and all) into a food processor. Pulse until pureed; set aside
In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine with sugar, brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs. On low speed, beat in pumpkin, orange juice and the orange puree.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice. Add flour mixture to the orange mixture, stirring until combined. Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.
Beat together cream cheese, corn syrup and powdered sugar until smooth. Drop a tablespoon into the center of each muffin, pressing down gently so the cream cheese sinks a little.
Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. After the muffins cool, keep them in an airtight bag or container in the refrigerator.
Yields about 16 muffins (I got 22 out of my batch)
Also the picture shows you can garnish with a swirl of rediwhip and a pecan. I used rediwhip and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

OMG!! I love pumpkin I'm going to make them in the morning.

they are divine my only other suggestion....make sure you puree the orange really good or you get big chunks of zest...kinda bitter!

My mom's new boyfriend requested a "sugar pie" so she called his mom and asked what on earth it was...and this was almost exactly the recipe she got. She said its fantastic and that you SHOULD NOT refrigerate it because it loses its flavor when you do (i don't know if its true). So, I guess its called a "sugar pie"!

Now I want pecan pie. (totally unrelated)

Me too. And decorate my house for the seasons and buy presents and eat my FIL's sugar cookies. I may have to BEG him for the recipe. its a secret recipe (seriously secret...it makes thin, crispy cookies rather than the fluffy ones and they are SOOO good dipped in hot chocolate...but its still 90 degrees here, so I'll have to try it in chocolate milk, haha). But, I'm having his grandchild and his grandchild wants cookies dammit! hehe. Think I can win him over with that?
