Orange Cranberry Muffins (eggless!)

Mar 9

Posted by Stephanie in Recipes - Breakfast | 2 Comments

If you’re visiting from Beauty and Bedlam or Blessed with Grace then welcome! Here is a GREAT recipe for Orange Cranberry Muffins. I was out of eggs yesterday so I substituted with cornstarch and they came out wonderful! So here is my eggless recipe-perfect if anyone in your family has an egg allergy!


2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 TBS. Cornstarch
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 cup dried cranberries


In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the milk, oil and orange juice.
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries.


Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400 degrees
for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing
from pan to a wire rack.

Consignment Sales in Tampa

Mar 8

Posted by Stephanie in Commentary | No Comments

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good bargain. And kid’s consignment sales are the way to snag one! I’ve purchased $120 strollers for $45, bathing suits for $1, books and puzzles for $1, and full outfits for $1.50 each!


You can also SELL you unwanted baby and kid’s items at these sales and make some extra cash. Let me tell you it’s better than holding a garage sale at your home! Your things get exposed to hundreds of mommies too!


Still not convinced? Check one out for yourself! Here are 2 consignment sales coming up in Tampa…..


Crazy Mommas Consignment

When- Saturday March 27th

Where- Fireman’s Benevolent Association Hall

Times- 7am - 2pm

I have been to this sale several times. They hold one twice a year - every Fall and Spring. It is well-organized and I have gotten so many great deals. I highly suggest attending if you’ve never been! Check out their website on more details - map of location, or to sell your items and how to attend the pre-sale!

sale


Just Between Friends Consignment Sale

When- March 18th-20th

Where- Tampa Bay Baptist Conference Center

First time shoppers can shop the pre-sale on March 17th! That would be me! I’ve never attended this consignment sale before, but I plan on it! I’m excited to see what will be there.

Do you know of any other upcoming Consignment Sales in the Tampa area? If so please leave a comment!
