Its dandelion season and I have been trying to add dandelions to our meals. Today I whipped up a batch of what I call sunshine muffins and they were kid approved as well as husband approved so I thought I would share my recipe with you. The recipe make 36-40 regular sized muffins.
Sunshine muffins
9 bananas mashed
The zest of 2 oranges
20 dandelion flowers (just the yellow petals no green)
1lb of strawberries chopped
1 cup shredded carrot
3 eggs
3/4 cup soft butter
1 cup honey ( can replace with white sugar)
3 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 cups all purpose flour or 4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and place in greased muffin pans. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes. 😊

If you have a homestead anything like ours then you are non stop and meal prep can be time consuming at times. All children love pizza, its the one food you can be creative with and add so many yummy vegetables right from your own garden or local farmer!  But most pizza dough is made with yeast and sometimes you want pizza right then and there, so try this yummy quick pizza dough and save some time.
I use whole wheat flour but all purpose flour works great also. Preheat oven to 400 F and you will bake your pizza for 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you like your crust. Also note that if you intend on making an extra large pizza to double your recipe. We use a 15"x24" cookie sheet and find doubling this recipe works great. Enjoy!

In a bowl combine : 2 1/4 cup flour (whole wheat or AP)
                                   1 Tbsp baking powder
                                   1/4 tsp salt
                                   1 cup milk
                                   1/4 cup margarine
stir together ingredients until you get a sticky dough, you may need to add a tad more flour if too sticky. Place on floured surface and roll out to form your pizza. Transfer to pizza sheet and add toppings.
