We had a pretty relaxing weekend.
Yesterday we got groceries and then I mentioned to my husband that I wanted to rearrange the furniture in our room in the next few weeks….he took that as he needed to do it immediately. So, he moved furniture and I watched! 
We also watched Easy A and Cop Out last night.
I thought Easy A was hilarious. The husband didn’t love it so much.
I made it through about twenty minutes of Cop Out.
The husband like this one though!
Did you watch any good movies this weekend?
While watching movies I enjoyed a few of these…
This is how I know summer is just around the corner…my favorite seasonal beer is back on the shelves. I saw this and squealed. I think I may have embarrassed my husband. I’m a huge Goose Island fan. This and 312 are my favorite!
For breakfast today, I continued my mission for great muffins!
Both the Good Eats Guy and I have deep love for orange cinnamon rolls. Anyways, I’ve been on a quest for the past couple of months to continue to try making the flavor of those transfer into muffins.
This is the closest I’ve come! They were pretty yummy! Even the little ones that live in my house approved of these! Of course…I did add a few chocolate chips to the last few muffins for them!
Orange Cinnamon Muffins
-2 cups flour
-3/4 cup sugar
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-1/2 cup orange juice
-1/2 cup applesauce
-1/2 cup milk
-zest of one orange
For the streusel topping…
-2 tablespoons of softened butter
-3 Tablespoons of flour
-3 Tablespoons of brown sugar
-1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
For the batter…Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl. Combine both bowls of stuff!
For the streusel…Mix everything together until it gets all crumbly!
Add the batter to a muffin pan and then add the streusel to the top of the pan.
Bake at 350 degrees until they are finished. Mine took about 20 minutes.
**The Little Miss wanted chocolate chips in her muffins this morning, so after pouring half of the pan, I added some chocolate chips to second half!
These turned out great! I was definitely pleased with the end result!
I’ll be making them again! And the Little Miss’ addition of chocolate chips was an awesome idea!
I spent the rest of the day cleaning, doing laundry, and I even made time for a nap!! I don’t usually take a whole lot of naps, but today was definitely one of those days that I needed one!
Now, I’m just trying to prepare for the week and make sure that I am ready for Monday!
Any big plans for the week?
I hope you had a great weekend!
These muffins look fantastic – nice job!
I’ve been wanting to see Easy A – glad you enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to my day off tomorrow. No big plans, just relaxing all day!
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I also loved Easy A!! Sometimes those kinds of movies are the best! The muffins look tasty too — I’m going to print this recipe for sure!
A few things:
1. I don’t make muffins nearly enough. This needs to change.
2. @ Goose Island, I get the same way when I see Sam Adams Octoberfest! It’s seriously my FAVORITE beer.
3. I’m so glad I’m off tomorrow. My husband came home this weekend and I didn’t think about school at all. On tap for tomorrow, recording The Gadget War on Garage Band for my struggling readers to follow along with!
ooohhh, I love Oktoberfest! I seriously wish it was fall just so I could drink that beer!
Easy A WAS hilarious! I agree with you.
And hooooray for Goose Island! Still have some of their winter ale around… I’m slow on drinking beer… oops
I’ve never had Goose Island before…definitely need to check it out if it is good enough to squeal over its return
Your muffins look awesome as well! We are lovers of orange rolls at my house too, but have never tried the flavors in muffin form. And…Easy A is definitely the third awesome thing in this post. Love it!
OMG wasn’t Cop Out just horrendous? I can’t believe I spent $1 at Redbox to get it. I’m still bitter about the fact! Easy A looks too cute, I need to add that to my Netflix queue.
I thought Easy A was so funny!!! I just saw it for the second time, and loved it even more. My boyfriend actually really liked it too, I was surprised. Your muffins look so delicious!! Love the idea of choco chips in them
Those muffins look and sound wonderful. I’ll bet my little ones would enjoy these as well. It’s been a while since hubby and I enjoyed a good movie date. We can’t rent cause it’s too noisy to hear anything anyways…sigh. I think the last movie we saw was The Tourist.
I want to see Easy A! And I couldn’t make it through Cop Out either. The muffins look yummy. I love when muffins have a little special topping
. Exciting week plans= Taught this morning (still thrilled to be back teaching group fitness), walking the bridge in Charleston with a friend & we’re going to a beer festival Saturday (I’m DD obviously haha).
I didn’t think much of Easy A from the previews but hearing the buzz, I think I might actually enjoy it! Good to know you approved
.
I thought easy a was hilarious too! Those muffins look sooo light and fluffy. My mom used to make us muffins every Sunday before church
I liked Easy A too! I finally saw Social Network this weekend and loved it. Those muffins look delicious! Thanks for the recipe
These muffins look so good. I am looking forward to making these real soon!
Easy A was so cute, I really enjoyed it
And yummy muffins 
Those muffins sound so good!
I loved Easy A – I thought it was hilarious!
I got so excited to see all the seasonal beers in fall, but I had no idea there were so many spring ones! I saw the seasonal Blue Moon at Target and got really excited too
great flavor for muffins!
now I want to see easy A. I bet my husband will watch it with me, even if he thinks it’s dumb
The muffins sound so good!
The Pillsbury Orange Rolls are a MUST HAVE in our house Christmas morning. I may have to try these muffins!! This week I need to get things organized and cleaned up. I’ve been buys for the past few days and things are starting to pile up!
I loved Easy A. Even my fiance liked it! This weekend I watched Star Wars Episodes 4 & 5 for the FIRST time! As resistant as I was, I actually really liked them, especially The Empire Strikes Back!
WE LOVE goose island (actually, I might love it more than Law Boy..) but it’s delicious. Do you have a secret and healthy blueberry muffin recipe you can share some day? I’m talking like super moist, super delicious. I’ve been craving one for weeks but I’m terrible at baking….
[...] professed my love of all things orange-cinnamon flavor and last week as I was making French toast, I had an idea that I wanted to try out using these [...]
