Yesterday Was A Cranberry Morning

Made cranberry cream cheese muffins - early  morning, using Nan's recipe.   Have used many of her cookie recipes and always so good.   So good but I did use a glaze of fresh orange juice and a little confectionery sugar since cranberries are tart, pleased I did.  Posted on Saturday, September 5, 2015.

Soon breakfast of waffle with more cranberries sliced banana and green tea.

 

several hours after breakfast ate 2 of the muffins with a glass of milk

so good....

Did some research as I had forgotten how good cranberries are for you and this one needs all
the good food she can consume...

In the burning pile I saw this
interesting an image on the a piece of wood from a small tree that was cut down

I place it on a section of the big tree removed, told the tree cutter to roll it over by
some chairs to use for a small table.

A neighbor stopped by and counted the rings on my tree and said it was 55 years old.
So sorry it had to be cut down but will surely feel safer during storms.

Enough shared
end of my day
very weary
and just wish I did not have the pain that is continual and balance issue.
Cannot tolerate any pain medication and just trying to be ever careful with this balance issue.

Sunday morning and 45 degrees in the country,
a beautiful sunny and warmer week expected...

Bake

On cold days I like to bake.

Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies - seemed a good choice and all ingredients on hand

As an experiment I put in a cup of chopped fresh cranberries in last half of the batter

Thought they would look festive. They taste pretty good:)

1 and 1/2 cups of sugar

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup soft butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 beaten egg

2 and 1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix first 5 ingredients and add dry ingredients

Fold in chocolate chips and nuts ------- and if you add cranberries (very tart and I sprinkled a little sugar on them.

350 degrees - drop on greased cookie sheet - 12- 14 minutes

watch and remove when bottom begins to brown

I use tsp for a medium cookie (made 4 dozen for me) - you can make a larger cookie

Cool on cookie sheet a few minutes and then place on wire rack to continue cooling.

Have used this recipe a number of time for 2 years and I may have posted this in the past

FORGIVE ME ----- I USED ONE 12 OUNCE BAG OF CHIPS AND CUP OF CHOPPED WALNUTS
