Project AmeniT's - Got Socks??

Got Socks??

I am so grateful and completely overwhelmed by the response to Project AmeniT's.  We are teaming up with HipKids this November to make as many stockings as possible.  The deadline for this year to have all donations in will be in mid November to have them ready for Christmas.  I will be collecting donations for Project AmeniT's year round, as I am making this an annual thing, so please don't stop the donations in November....keep them coming!!

We do have a slight problem, tons of amenities, NO SOCKS!!  If you are looking for a great way to give back and make someones Christmas a little bit brighter, please donate some new socks.  As we are trying to make children's stocking too, there sock are too small to put things in, so Christmas stocking will be used instead.  We will gladly accept new children's socks to place in their stockings!

Below is a list of things that we still need to make complete stockings:

New Socks (Mens/Womens/Childrens/Enfants)

Tooth Paste

Tooth Brushes

Disposable Razors

Shaving Cream

Baby & Children's Toiletries (soap/diaper cream/shampoo)

Individually Packaged Wipes

Small Treats (candy canes/chocolate bars)

Thank you so much for all of your love and support.  Every tiny thing you do, make as huge difference.

Pumpkin Qunioa Muffins

My friend Lisa sent me a recipe for these yummy muffins.  I, of course, added my own twist to the recipe.  If you like pumpkin, this is a must try recipe.  They are so good and so moist!  Enjoy!

Pumpkin Quinoa Muffins

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 egg white
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/4 vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup cooked quinoa

In a bowl mix together flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.  Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, honey, egg, egg white, yogurt, oil, pumpkin, and quinoa.  Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

Fill lined muffin tins 2/3's of the way full.  Bake at a 350 degree oven for 16 minutes.  Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
