Bean and Cheese Wrap-Ups

Good for lunch or dinner -- all my kids like this quick and nutritious meal:

1 can drained beans (kidney, pinto, great northern)
1 onion, chopped
2 handfuls shredded mozzarella (2 handfuls? maybe 1 cup?)
1/2 can chopped black olives
1/2 cup (maybe) Newman's oil and vinegar dressing (or other Italian dressing). Maybe 1/4 cup -- use sparingly.
tortillas

Mix all the ingredients together and wrap in a tortilla. Yum. You can also add chopped tomatoes if you want, but all my kids don't like tomatoes. Maybe put them on the side.

Muffins that taste like Donuts

The actual title of this recipe...no kidding

Batter:
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk

Topping:
1/2 cup melted butter (I think 1/4 cup will work just as well)
3/4 cup white sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon (mixed together)


Combine oil, sugar, egg and milk. Mix in flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Place in muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min.

Remove from muffin tins. Dip the top of each muffin in the melted butter and then the sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Enjoy!!

Can't decide which one I like better

I'm going to place an ad on a well-known blog and can't decide which ad I like better:

Tell me what you think:

None of the above

Hey, it's okay if you don't like any of the above. But if you vote #4 you've got to provide an alternative button from which to choose. 150x150. :-)

What is it with the color pink?
The word?
The shade?

this is what it would look like:
