These are my all time favorite muffins, hands down. In the backyard of my old house, I had a huge raspberry batch and along side the boat loads of raspberry jam I used to make, I always made these muffins. They come together quickly and did I mention they have streusel? I want to go make a batch right now haha and I would if I still had the fresh berries in my backyard....memories! Enjoy!
Ingredients
MUFFINS:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh or frozen whole unsweetened raspberries, divided
PECAN STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine the milk, butter and egg. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture just until moistened.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon batter into each of 12 greased muffin cups. Divide half of the raspberries among cups; top with remaining batter, then remaining raspberries.
For topping, combine ingredients until mixture resembles moist crumbs; sprinkle over muffins. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes; carefully remove from pans. Serve warm.

White Chocolate Popcorn
This is an easy recipe that makes a great gift. I am not sure if its really a recipe anywhere on the web but I just started melting white chocolate and pouring it over popped microwave popcorn. I think you could also go down to Holiday and grab some of there fresh popped popcorn. I like doing it myself! Any white chocolate will do, white chocolate chips, vanilla melties, whatnot. I love to buy vanilla melties at Winco and use them! They work great and taste great too. I don't have a real recipe for this, so just eyeball the amount of white chocolate or melties you want to use and then pour it over a bowl of fresh popped popcorn and stir it up, easy! It is really addicting too, you may want to eat the first bowl yourself and make another, just sayin. You can always add mixins like tiny pretzel sticks, m & m's, marshmellows or whatever you can think up! It is versatile and bags up beautifully for gift giving. I love to give it for teacher gifts! Have fun with it!!

Easy Chicken Enchiladas
1. Get two large sized chicken breasts and grill or cook them any way and then chop into small pieces and set aside.
2. Mix these together with a whisk:
1 small can of mild green salsa (salsa verde)
8 oz tub of sour cream
1 can cream of chicken
a few sprinkles of chili powder
3. Take 1 cup of the above mixture and stir it into the chicken and add a good amount of shredded cheese (I love cheddar jack but you can use what you like!) - Use this filling to fill your enchiladas with. I buy a package of medium sized flour tortillas (8 count) and the chicken filling fills them all and is enough for a 13x9 casserole dish.
4. After you have all the enchiladas rolled, cover them with the remaining mixture from #2 above and then cover with cheese.
5. Bake enchiladas at 350 for 40 minutes or until nice and hot and the cheese is bubbling.
Top with tomatoes and green onions and enjoy!!
