Blend the dry ingredients with the apple mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins and bake for 25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

All Things Harvested Pot Roast

4-5 pound pot roast

1 stick butter

1 large onion sliced

3 celery stalks, chopped

1 garlic clove, chopped

¼ tsp. dried thyme

¼ tsp. dried parsley

1 bay leaf

1/8 tsp. black pepper

¼ tsp. salt

2-10oz cans French onion soup

4 large potatoes, quartered

8oz raw carrots, chopped

16oz broccoli and cauliflower, chopped

In a Dutch oven or oven safe pot with a lid, brown both sides of the roast, using half of the butter. Set the roast aside. With remaining butter, sauté the onion, garlic, and celery until onions are tender and beginning to brown. Add the thyme, parsley, bay leaf, and pepper. Mix well and then return the pot roast to the pan. Sprinkle salt over the roast and add the French onion soup. Cook at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 hours. Baste meat as needed. Add potatoes and carrots, and salt to taste. Cook for another 45 minutes. Add broccoli/cauliflower mix, and cook for 20 more minutes. Serve with fresh warm bread. Makes 8 servings
