Orange Muffins

Sven and I love orange juice and it is unlikely that you wouldn't find some in our refrigerator. I came across this recipe on someone else's blog that looked easy and sounded delicious. I figured I would share since almost all of the ingredients most would likely already have at home.

Orange Muffins
1 stick margarine
1C sugar
2 1/4C flour
3/4C orange juice
2 eggs2
1/2t baking powder
1t vanilla

Mix all ingredients and pour into muffin liners in muffin tins.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
Makes 24 muffins (about 120 calories each).

Enjoy.

New Toy

Almost daily while living in our apartment Sven would tell me that he just couldn't wait until we got a grill. But while living in an apartment buying a grill was not an option since we didn't have our own outdoor area to keep one. Once we put the contract on our house he told me that buying a grill was number one on his list of things to get right away.

Well after moving into our home we immediately began to fix up and getting a grill no longer became a priority. I really knew Sven wanted one and since we're not putting on a deck this summer like we had hoped, I was feeling bad that his number one and two 'wants' were not happening. So after telling him numerous times we should go buy a grill, he finally decided that it was time to get one, which happened to be the day Jessica and Dan arrived. Shortly after they got here we all loaded up and headed to Home Depot to make the big purchase.
And now it sits in our backyard where Sven uses it almost daily. Lets just say that he is only a little obsessed!
