Around the Table March // Lemon Desserts


Happy March! I can't believe I am already into another month of the around the table linkup, this is my third month and each month it grows a little bit. As always I am excited to see where this goes and i hope you are enjoying linking up your recipes with me each month. 

So, this months theme is lemon desserts. So i decided to share this lemon muffin recipe that I made with my mom for a baby shower while I was back in Michigan for spring break. It has the perfect amount of lemon and they tasted so good! 





Ingredients: 
6 cups of all purpose flour
4 cups of Sugar
3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 teaspoon of salt
8 eggs
2 cups (16 oz) of sour cream
2 cups of butter melted
3 tablespoons of grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Topping:
3/4 cup of flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of cold butter (cut up into cubes)

Glaze:
1/2 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of lemon juice

Directions:
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a second bowl combine the eggs, sour cream, butter, lemon peel and juice. Stir into dry ingredients until batter is moist. Fill greased or paper lined cups three fourths full. 
In a small bowl combine flour and sugar, cut in butter until mixture is like course crumbs. Sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffin. Cool for five minutes before putting on wire racks. In a small bowl wisk glaze ingredients then poor over warm muffins. (i didn't make the glaze but i think i would if i made them again)

Four Tips for Creating Community through Blogging

1. Reach out to other bloggers:  this is an  essential when wanting to get into community. It can be as small as a comment on their blog, or an email. I have built relationships with other bloggers through email, commenting on their blogs, etc. For me it has been a beneficial thing, to create community in something that I really didn't know there was any.   This is a great post on why bloggers need community.  2. Join a blog group on Facebook, or some other social media group: I have joined the Peony Project on facebook which is a group for other christian bloggers. It's a great group and i would definitely recommend it!  3. Make meaningful comments: when I say meaningful comments I don't mean that you have to write a novel, but at least engage with the post somehow. Check out Madison's post on how to comment on blogs to find out more.  4. Plan a blogger Meetup : If you there

Being Content

Content, As christian women we here that word more times than we can count, especially in a season of waiting. Content is defined as,   pleased and satisfied : not needing more.  Have you been in a season in your life where your feel like you are just waiting? Waiting for a new job, waiting for things to get better, waiting for marriage, etc. Whatever you are waiting for, sometimes it just seems like it's taking forever just like a long line at the grocery store.  When I think about being content, my thoughts instantly go to being content in my singleness. How many times have we heard the cliche lines like "just wait, God's got it" said by well meaning people, only to make you feel worse. There was a time in my life where it was so hard to hear all of those lines without just wanting to cry, because like I said it made me feel worse rather than better.  That is when I would get discontent in waiting,  sometimes I feel like i am in this never-endin
