Pumpkin Cream ​Cheese Muffins by Rae Hieber from Pinterest


​​I​ngredients
o 3 cups all-purpose flour
o 1 teaspoon cinnamon
o 1 teaspoon nutmeg
o 1 teaspoon ground cloves
o 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
o 1 pinch cardamom (optional)
o 1 teaspoon salt
o 1 teaspoon baking soda
o 4 eggs
o 2 cups sugar
o 2 cups pumpkin
o 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
o 8 ounces cream cheese
o chopped pumpkin seeds (optional) or walnuts (optional) or pecans (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Put the entire brick of cream cheese on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper and shape it into a long log.
3. Put it in the freezer while you mix and fill the pans, up to an hour.
4. Unwrap and cut with a sharp knife so each cream cheese disk equals 1-2 teaspoons. If the cream cheese disks are too big around, cut thick slices and then cut them in half. This lets you push it down into the batter easier.
5. Mix all ingredients together (except cream cheese and nuts).
6. Fill muffin tins (greased or paper cups) half full.
7. Put cream cheese disc in the middle, pressing down.
8. Sprinkle with 1 tsp chopped nuts.
9. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the muffin part (do not touch the cream cheese!).
10. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely. Do not touch the cream cheese until it cools.
Home-made Laundry Soap

​​1- 4lb box  Borax
1- 4lb box Super Washing Soda
3 bars Fels Naptha soap
1 container Purex Crystals
1-tub Oxi-Clean ​​​​
1-4lb Baking Soda

I start by grating 1 of the bars of soap. (I bought a grater from Goodwill and use it only for soap)
Then layer your other ingredients by thirds. Grate another bar of soap. Layer. Grate last bar of soap and do remaining ingredients. I mix with my hands in a 3 gallon bucket I bought from Ingles for 50 cents. Mix and use the scoop from the Oxi-Clean to use as scoop to measure out for loads of laundry. 1 scoop to 1 reg load of laundry. For my husbands extra greasy dirty ones I use 2. If you use too much in colored clothes it will make them a little lighter. This bucket will last 6 months. That is laundry for family of four.​​​​
