Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (120ml) canola or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1 and 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, at room temperature

Crumb Topping

• 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (50g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 6 Tablespoons (86g) unsalted butter, melted

Maple Icing (optional)

• 1 and 1/2 cups (180g) confectioners’ sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup
• 2 Tablespoons (30ml) milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. This recipe makes 15 muffins, so prepare a second muffin pan in the same manner. Set aside.
2. Make the muffins: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together until combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs and milk together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold everything together gently just until combined and no flour pockets remain.
3. Spoon the batter into liners, filling them almost full.
4. Make the crumb topping: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice together until combined. Stir in the melted butter until crumbs form. Spoon crumbs evenly on top of the batter and gently press them down into the batter so they’re snug.
5. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 16-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 21-22 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan as you make the icing.
6. Make the icing: Whisk all of the icing ingredients together until combined and smooth. Drizzle over muffins and serve warm.

After you pick up a new RV from PleasureLand RV Center, you’re ready to pack up and head out on your first trip. Part of packing includes planning meals and packing the food you want to take with you on the road – or planning where to stop to pick up special ingredients you might need if you are not bringing them with you. You can make a simple shrimp scampi even in the RV or on the grill, so don’t think you have to give up your favorites just because you are in an RV!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tbs. Butter
• ½ c. dry white vermouth
• ½ tsp. Lemon zest
• 2 tbs. Fresh lemon juice
• 4 tsp. Fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped

Instructions:

Wash and dry the shrimp, making sure they are completely dry. Heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stove top or the grill. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the butter to the skillet.

When the butter stops foaming, increase the heat to high. Quickly add all of the shrimp to the pan at the same time. Cook them without moving them for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp over and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.

Return the skillet to the heat and add the vermouth and lemon juice. Boil the mixture until it is slightly thickened. This takes about 30 seconds. Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in the lemon zest and parsley. Pour the sauce over the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

Serve by itself as an appetizer or serve over pasta for a main meal.

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high temperature. Add the chicken and cook thoroughly, about six minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to plate using tongs. Add garlic and ginger to the Dutch oven and cook for 5-10 seconds. Then, add broth and water and increase the temperature to high. Bring to a rapid boil for 5 minutes, uncovered.

In a bowl, combine parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of oil and set aside. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with black pepper. In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, half at a time, for three minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate when cooked. Next, add garlic and onion to the pan and cook until softened. Remove the pan from heat and pour in crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and a dash of pepper.
