***EDITED*** one of our more astute posterS (who wants to remain anonymous for this item) pointed out QUitE correctly thAt contrary to what the post below implies, we do not bentch rosh chodesh this weeK…
“…wanted to point out to you that the minhag is not to be mavarech chodesh Tishrei, so while you are technically correct timewise, it is not in fact Shabbos Mevarchim this week.”

We are all so busy with the Yomim Norayim, it probably slipped your mind (as it did mine until about 4:30 AM) that THIS SHABBOS is Shabbos Mevorchim Tishrei. So here is the final reminder for this year!
I am sending two delicious recipes (from my daughter, the family baker) that you may be interested in. For Weight Watchers, I have to warn you the honey cake is a whopping 114 points! And I doubled the recipe to get 3 big loaves 🙁
May we all see a year of good health, Simchos, Nachas, Parnassah & the ultimate, Moshiach Tzidkenu mamosh now.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH MUFFINS…delicious!
Preheat oven to 350.
3 c. flour (or 2 c. regular and 1 c. ww)
1 c. sugar
4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. salt
Mix together in a bowl. Set aside.
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 T. vanilla
1 c. apple juice
1/2 c. oil
In a separate bowl, mix together. Add to flour mixture until moistened.
Toss 2 (20 oz.) pkgs butternut squash, thawed (or 2 med squash peeled, chopped and boiled) with mixture.
Heavily grease muffin tins and fill with mixture, 2/3’s of the way. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. If underbaked, they will sink!
Using a knife, scrape along sides of muffins to release from sides of pan. Allow to cool for a few minutes and then tip over on to cooling racks. Allow to cool completely.
DELICIOUS HONEY CAKE (this is so easy even I succeeded!)

3/4 c. honey
1 c. sugar
1 c. oil
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 c. flour
1 c. strong, hot coffee
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into greased 9×13 or loaf tins. Bake until toothpick comes out clean.
