萝卜糕

白萝卜4-5LB（最好是中国萝卜），
胡萝卜1根
粘米粉1LB，
金钩虾米半碗（冲洗去沙后用温水略泡，沥干水后切成小粒，水保留）、
腊肠4条（全部切成小粒，下多少根腊肠完全取决于您喜欢下多少肉）、
冬菇 （泡开）
葱白若干切成葱花、
糖、
盐、
胡椒粉若干、
油1－2汤匙

先把萝卜洗净，削去皮然后刨成萝卜丝, I used a blender
烧热炒锅，下油，5成热时下虾米粒和腊肠粒，炒香，然后下葱白炒几下，加盐，盛出备用
烧热炒锅，不下油，把萝卜丝下锅中火干炒，盖上锅盖焖
炒到萝卜变透明，加盐，糖，胡椒粉
把粘米粉放在另一个干净干燥的大锅内，加入萝卜出的水
加入泡冬菇或虾米的水直到粘米粉成团
把炒好的萝卜倒进粘米粉，搅拌均匀
把拌好的萝卜糕料倒入烤箱用的方形锡纸盘中，也可倒入预先用油抹过的瓷盘或不锈钢盘中，用小刀抹平
隔水蒸约半到一小时，或用锡纸盖上用烤箱250F烤一小时，直到萝卜糕成型
如果喜欢吃香脆味的，还可以把蒸好的萝卜糕切片，然后用油把两面煎至金黄

Cream cheese apple muffins

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 tablespoon lemon juice + lemon zest from 1/2 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup peeled, diced tart apples (2-4 small Granny Smiths)

1/2 cup bran flakes cereal or oatmeal (crunchy/ chewy stuff that doesn't soften too easily)

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about five minutes. 

Add the cream cheese and blend in well.
Add each egg, one at a time, mixing well until the egg is completely blended in. 

Add the milk, vanilla and lemon juice + zest. Mix well.

Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon).
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. You can do this part by hand if it will help you keep from overmixing the batter.
Fold in apples and bran flakes.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. 

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
