West Texas BBQ






Yesterday we went to Evie Mae's BBQ in Wolfforth- ranked #9 on TEXAS MONTHLY'S list of top 50 BBQ joints in Texas. We had a party of 5 adults and 3 children.  We ordered a #12- which is a sampler plate with 1/2 lb of each meat and a couple pints of sides.  For the sides we ordered the green chili cheese grits (droool), regular and jalapeño corn bread, and beans.  For desserts we ordered a banana pudding, chocolate pecan pie and coconut cream pie. I wasn't sure there would be enough to fill all of us, but when we were through eating there were leftovers.

Everything is made gluten free (except for the complimentary bread and beer. Yes, beer).  They open at 11am, but you better get there early if you don't want to wait in line for an hour or so.  We arrived at 10:30am and all of the outdoor tables were already filled with people standing around. For the line-up, they let people sitting at the tables go first and then everyone falls in line behind them.

The ribs were my favorite, but I think I might need another visit to reevaluate.

So many contractions this week- I've thought a few times "this is it."  But then it wasn't. Ready to meet our little girl.

The Muffin Recipe


I posted these muffins on my instagram a few days ago and then had a few people ask for the recipe.  It originally came from HERE, but I made a tiny adjustment so I'll include the recipe below. You can adapt this recipe with whatever you have around the house- I made some major adjustments HERE- they were tasty, but a little crumbly. So adapt as you find necessary and enjoy!

Cheers,

Katrina

Blueberry Oatmeal Flaxseed Muffins

2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
5 1/2 Cups Rolled Oats
1 1/2 Cups light brown sugar
2/3 Cup Ground Flaxseed
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 Cup vegetable oil
1 Cup whole milk greek yogurt
1 Cup whole milk
2 Cups frozen or fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray or line 2 muffin pans. 

Whisk together dry ingredients (from whole wheat flour to cinnamon).  In another bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (from eggs to whole milk). Comebine dry and wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in blueberries.

Fill prepared muffin pans and bake for about 20-25 minutes. A cake tester will come out clean. Allow muffins to cool for about 5 minutes in pans and then turn out.

Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator (I haven't tried freezing them, but let me know if you do). Refresh leftover muffins at 300F for about 8-10minutes.

The Twins














I met these two when they were starting out their freshman year at Harvard College.  We were at a home Bible study eating dinner together and I'm pretty sure they were holding pinkies while we ate. They're adorable.  And they make me laugh. And smile so hard it hurts. I want to say more about how wonderful they are and how proud I am at the women they have become, but I don't want to cry on my keyboard. So I'll just leave it at this: I'm so glad our lives crossed paths. They're two wonderful young women that anyone would be lucky to know.

So much love,

Katrina
