cwillie,
You are so right too much sugar that is when I change the recipe a bit. I do use sweet butter and never oil. The sweetness of pineapple in itself would be sweet enough for me but I would omit the sugar and use a little honey or stevia. Trial and error is what I do. I do want to make them soon. I would love to try your recipe if it is not too much trouble.
Polar and cwillie,
I just looked up a recipe morning glory muffins from Amy's Healthy Baking. Lots of healthy ingredients, egg whites, very small amount of butter, whole wheat flour, and other ingredients that I love. You can change the recipe to fit your taste.

I just checked out a recipe for morning glory muffins over at taste of home and OMG those are fat and sugar bombs! My recipe is a healthier version and I think they are probably my favourite kind but I don't make them often because grating the carrots is such a p.i.t.a.

EB, that sounds so delicious. I definitely going to look up the recipe and make some this weekend. I have one apple tree and it gives so many apples. I've been trying to find different ways to use them up. Definitely will use some in the muffins,

Hello Polar,
This is one muffin I have not made but when I do I will use pure unsalted butter in place of oil. I make all my muffins with butter and the muffins are so delicious.Morning glory has most my favorite ingredients in them. Pineapple, apples, raisins carrots, nuts, coconut to name a few. The muffins are dense but a feel good healthy muffin at that. I would look up Taste of Home. I have good luck with the site. I do not use recipes too much but with baking I do and sometimes switch around the recipe a bit.

Lunch
Fried rice with summer squash and zucchini with a light mixture of spices
Fresh fruit salad. This is what I would like to make. Updater later.
Mom is awake and yelling she wants something to eat, LOL. She had two morning glory muffins and coffee about an hour ago. She has a great appetite. She is a petite little lady and cute as a button.
Chef on Thursday had a better attitude but it might be because I was not there to bug him. I spoke to him on the phone, though. Food looks great and smells so good.

Counsin brought over a dozen of homemade morning glory muffins early this morning. Very sweet of her and I appreciate it very much, but I have been watching what I eat for the last couple of days, passed the Cheesecake Factory yeateday and resisted stopping for lunch. I had two MG muffins this morning. I guess I blew it again.

We call them subs where I live. I like eggplant parm with light cheese and a good old fashioned italian sub.

Llama, I love boiled dinner and I make it the way my mom did. Boiled ham, cabbage, carrots and turnips. Love it. I make a soup after.

NHWM, now you’ll know how to order when you travel to the various regions. To me they are hoagies or subs. Whichever—-still good.
A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub (North American English), hoagie (Mid-Atlantic and Western Pennsylvania English), torpedo, hero (New York City English), Italian (Maine Accent) or grinder (New England and Inland Northern English), is a type of cold or hot sandwich made from a cylindrical bread roll split lengthwise and filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.

Glad,

I don’t think that I have ever had ‘beaver tail.’ Thanks for the info. We have EE in our bakeries here. They are made with puff pastry and baked. I suppose there are different recipes. Sometimes they are referred to as shoe soles or palmier.

Funnel cake is different from beaver tail or elephant ear. BT and EE are the same thing, flat stretched hunks a dough that are then fried.

A funnel cake is fried but is not a solid hunk of dough. To make FC the dough is drizzled into the fryer with a funnel to cook. As a result the finished product has air space between the different layers of drizzled dough.

Food lingo in different regions are funny! We call sandwiches with French bread, Po-boys or poorboys. If they have lettuce and tomato on them, they are ‘dressed.’ So, tourist don’t know what the server is asking when they ask, “Would you like your po-boy dressed?”

cwille!

LOL

TOO FUNNY! Geeeeez! I have never heard the term ‘beaver tail!’ Yes, we have that. It is called a ‘funnel cake’ here.

For a minute, I thought this sensible woman on the forum was losing her mind! 🤣 Thanks for the laugh!

Actually, people in the Cajun area of Louisiana would most likely eat beaver! They eat anything and everything! LOL

LOL - beaver tails are great big hunks of "beaver tail" shaped fried dough popular at fairs and festivals NHWM, I'm pretty sure you have them too but call them something else :)

cwille,

So, how does beaver taste? How does the price compare to other meat?

They had a truck selling beaver tails set up outside my grocery store today. Because I am frugal (OK I'm cheap!) I've never had a beaver tail but today I figured that ought to be something on my bucket list....

I don't think the diameter of Hebrew National or Nathan's has changed. They are longer than other dogs and were never as big around. Hebrew National does have two different sizes. There is one that is bigger around and 1/4 pound.

Der Weinerschnitzel, at least used to, has a Chicago dog.

Well, finally got some hot dogs in today, and compared Nathan and Hebrew National. Both products have shrunken down to the circumference of my hubs'
middle finger.
Add corn on the cob, a salad and it was a good lunch. No bun though, it would have been all bread, because they did not shrink the size of the buns. Hard to put two dogs on one bun, and to cut them in half would be useless.

Someone messes with tradition-that's not okay. 🌭

Sad. Ordered some meat from Aldi's, but they were out of so much it did not behoove them to bring me anything and they cancelled my hot dogs too.

Guess they just like big orders.

But we won't starve, it is just that I wanted hot dogs...everybody else was having them. 🌭

Had Tuna sandwiches earlier.

Loaded like that I think you could probably leave the weiner off altogether and never notice, especially if you add on Send's slice of cheese 🤣

Ali,
Sent you a p.m.
Maybe a cheese slice on those dogs?
I think the bun flavors make a huge difference too.

Give me a Chicago dog with onions, mustard, relish, tomatoes, peppers, pickle... what else goes on them..? Anything but ketchup, haha. My mouth is watering thinking about it. I love them, and always have, and had to hunt them down or make at home when I lived in other cities. If you make a Chicago dog then it could be any kind of hot dog, and it'd still be deliciousness. But I'm a fan of the quality all beef dogs, too. My ex bf liked the "New York" style, just mustard..? It's ok. :-) I like the smorgasbord of flavortown in the Chicago dog. Yum! Probably my favorite comfort food.
