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)

If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

(you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...
