Hello there! It's Lainie Eilenberger from Key and Slate Real Estate Group, your trusted real estate expert in Lubbock, West Texas. Today, I'm stepping out of the world of real estate for a moment to share something equally delightful – my favorite recipe for Country Style Apple Cinnamon Muffins. Just like finding the perfect home, crafting the perfect muffin requires attention to detail, passion, and a touch of warmth. So, let's get started on this mouthwatering journey.


Country Style Apple Cinnamon Muffins Recipe


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium-sized apples)

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:


  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

  5. Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts (if using).

  6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Country Style Fried Pork Chops with Mashed Potatoes and Pan Gravy


Ingredients:


For the Pork Chops:


  • 4 bone-in pork chops

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Mashed Potatoes:


  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1/2 cup warm milk

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pan Gravy


  • 2 tablespoons pan drippings from frying

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:


  1. Start by preparing the Mashed Potatoes. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. Mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add warm milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Continue mashing until you reach your desired creamy consistency. Cover to keep warm.

  3. For the Pan Gravy, in a small saucepan, heat the pan drippings from frying the pork chops over medium heat. Add flour and stir until it turns golden brown.

  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Simmer and stir until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Now, let's move on to the star of the show – the Country Style Fried Pork Chops. In a shallow dish, season the flour with paprika, salt, and pepper.

  6. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.

  7. Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs, pressing them onto the chops to adhere.

  8. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  9. Place the golden-fried pork chops on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

  10. Serve your Country Style Fried Pork Chops alongside creamy Mashed Potatoes, drizzled with Pan Gravy, and relish in the comforting flavors of the South.

Country Style Pork Chops Recipe by Lainie Eilenberger, Top Lubbock & West Texas Real Estate Agent
Savor the Flavor with Lainie Eilenberger's Country Style Pork Chops - A Culinary Delight from a Top Lubbock & West Texas Real Estate Agent


Howdy, y'all! Welcome back to the heart of West Texas, where good ol' Southern hospitality meets top-notch real estate expertise. Today, we have a real treat for you: a delightful recipe for Fluffy Banana Pancakes. As you savor these

mouthwatering pancakes, I'll introduce you to someone who knows Lubbock and West Texas like the back of her hand – Lainie Eilenberger, the region's premier real estate agent. So, put on your apron, get ready to flip some flapjacks, and let's dive right in!


Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas (the speckled kind, trust me!)

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 3½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1¼ cups milk

  • 1 egg

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • A dash of cinnamon for that extra Texan twist

  • Your favorite maple syrup and butter for serving (Texas pecan syrup, anyone?)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. This blend will give your pancakes that perfect balance of sweet and fluffy.

  2. Banana Mash-Up: In a separate bowl, grab those ripe bananas and mash them up real good. The riper, the better – you want that sweet, natural flavor to shine through.

  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: To your banana mash, add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until it's as smooth as a Lubbock sunset.

  4. Blend It All Together: Now, combine the wet and dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; you want your pancakes light and fluffy, not tough as boot leather.

  5. Heat the Griddle: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If you're feeling Texan, you can add a pat of butter to give your pancakes a golden, buttery crust.

  6. Pour and Flip: For each pancake, ladle out some batter onto the griddle. Cook until you see those delightful bubbles on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until it's as golden as West Texas wheat fields.

  7. Serve with Love: Stack those pancakes on a plate, add a dollop of butter, and drizzle with your favorite maple syrup (the good stuff, y'all).

Now, that's what I call a breakfast that'll stick to your ribs!
