Seductive Saturday- Pumpkin Surprise Muffins
Hi again. This week we are going to do a less than traditional Thanksgiving dessert. Pumpkin Surprise Muffins. I came up with this recipe because my kids always made a mess with the pumpkin pie and they loved muffins, pumpkin bread and cheesecake. So this recipe is a combination of all 3. It’s a surprise for those you serve these to who have no idea what’s inside. I hope you make these for your family and they enjoy them as much as my family has.
Pumpkin Surprise Muffins
Filling:
1 – 8 oz package cream cheese (softened- doesn’t matter if fat free)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp brown sugar (doesn’t matter light or dark)
1 1/2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
Muffin:
2 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups of canned pumpkin
1/3 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375* F. Grease and lightly flour 18 muffin cups or use paper baking liners.
To make the filling…… In a medium bowl beat cream cheese till soft. Add egg, vanilla, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until smooth. Set aside.
To make muffin batter…… In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add eggs, pumpkin, oil and vanilla. Beat together till smooth.
To put together……. Fill muffin cups about 1/3 full. Then place about 1 Tbsp of filling mix in center of batter. Make sure the filling DOES NOT touch the sides. Place enough muffin batter on top of filling till muffin cups are 3/4 full. Bake at 375* for 20-25 mins.

Some like it Scot? It’s in the dress!
Some Like it Scot! Scottish that is. What draws us to the Man in Highland Dress?
Do you hear music while gazing upon that picture?? Okay, well that is more like Highland undress, but I’m good with it. Really, let’s have a little lesson on the Highland dress:
Highland dress is one of the most distinctive and attractive national costumes in the world and has survived the passing of centuries with consummate ease. The basic elements of Highland dress – the kilt and the sporran – have changed very little in 300 plus years and are just as likely to be seen today on New York’s Fifth Avenue as they are on Edinburgh’s Princess Street.
The Little Kilt – The feileadh-beag (pr: feela beg)The beginnings of the small kilt – the one which is worn in modern times – has caused lots of arguments over the years. There are many people who like to think that something so Scottish has to be really ancient but it is generally agreed that the little kilt (Feileadh-beag – pr: feela beg ) is really quite modern having first become popular about 270 years ago.
One of the commonest tales is that it came about in the 1730s at an ironworks at Glengarry in Argyll. The manager there was an Englishman called Thomas Rawlinson who wore the kilt himself and noticed the inconvenience of being unable to remove the top half when it became soaking wet with rain, without having to take the bottom part off as well. So he separated the top half and got a tailor to sew the pleats permanently into the bottom half. The Chief of Glengarry – Iain MacDonell – saw this, thought it a great idea and copied it.
Hose
Most Highlanders went around bare-legged and bare-footed but when they did start wearing stockings, they were made of cloth and not knitted like modern ones. The pattern was usually a red and white check which was called cath dath (pr: kaa dah) – war pattern.
A characteristic of traditional hose was that they stopped well below the knee – usually on the thickest part of the calf. Even with garters however, those old diced hose were pretty shapeless and fell down frequently if the wearer didn’t have a good sized calf muscle and they were eventually replaced by knitted stockings which clung to the legs much better.
Garters
There was no elastic in those days and to keep the socks up it’s said that poorer Highlanders would often tie some plaited hay or straw around the top of them to 
hold them up. For the better off however, garters were woven on a special hand loom called agartane leem which was also used for weaving narrow strips of fabric. Nowadays it’s called an Inkle loom and was mentioned in Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost but the loom predated that period by several centuries.
The woven garters were about a metre long and ended in a special knot called the Sniomh Gartain (pr: snaime garshtan) which is said to be a bit like that on a modern necktie. The village of Cladich on Loch Awe was said to be home to a colony of weavers – almost all of them MacIntyres- who were renowned for their hose and their ‘greatly celebrated”Cladich garters’ which were mostly made in red and white and were greatly prized by pipers. Their fine hose was possibly the forerunner of today’s Argyle pattern. The last MacIntyre weaver in Cladich is said to have died in 1870.
Sporran
Historically, very little seems to have been written about the sporran. The need for such a ‘purse’ however is self evident. In the belted plaid, although the wearer could fashion various pockets from the upper portion of the fabric, none of them were very secure and small, valuable items such as money and lead balls for the musket & pistols, could easily be dislodged and lost. Originally the sporran was carried on the belt – just like a modern holiday maker’s money belt. The’working sporran’ was usually very basic – a large circle of leather with holes punched around the periphery and then drawn together with a thin leather thong and attached to the belt.
For dressier occasions- usually the prerogative of the financially better-off – the sporran was much more ornate and hung at the front, either on the waist belt or on its own sporran belt.
A huge range of indulgent designs appeared with silver cantles and tassels. Most were made of animal skins such as otter, badger, goat and seal and by the late 1800s there appeared the sporan molach or hair sporran usually made from goat skins and so large that it almost covered the front of the kilt.
BeltsA Highlander’s leather belt was usually made of cowhide and with a brass or silver buckle. If a Highlander was on a long trip and was short of food, he would tighten his belt which made his stomach feel less empty. Some belts were reported as being highly decorated with silver ornaments intermixed with the leather like a chain. The better-off had even more ornate belts and sometimes the end that went through the buckle would be metal or silver that was highly engraved and decorated with fine stones or pieces of red corral.
Hats
Many writings mention the Highlanders’ bonnet – Boineid (pr: bonaje) which came to be called the Tam o’ Shanter. This was knitted or made of cloth and was worn tight around the brow and very loose on top with a toorie for decoration – a bobble or pompom. Bonnets were mostly blue but were also made in brown and grey. In time it became smaller and was known as the Balmoral – boinead biorach (pr: bonaje beerach) which sometimes had a diced band (checked like a chess or draughts board) and the toorie on top. The ribbons at the back were for adjusting the headband so that it fitted all head sizes. Tradition has it that in the army, Lowlanders (those Scots who live south of the Highlands) let the ribbons hang free whilst Highlanders would tie them in a bow.
Over the years, some wearers of the Balmoral wore it puffed up on the head and then creased it down the middle. This produced a new style of hat called the Glengarry. By late Victorian times almost all the British Army wore this type of hat when they were in their working uniforms.
The black knife – Sgian Dubh (pr: skian doo)
The derivation of the name of this little ‘weapon’ is open to discussion. Traditionally the handle was made of black ‘bog wood’ – wood that had long lain submerged in a bog, and that’s certainly an obvious origin. Others point to the fact that originally it was a hidden knife and therefore rather sinister and used for ‘black deeds.’
In rougher ages it was secreted in the oxter – the armpit – and could be withdrawn for use in a flash. As violence and lawlessness disappeared, the need for such a hidden weapon diminished and it was then openly displayed, tucked into the hose top.
Dirk – Biodag (pr: beedak )The Highland dirk grew directly from the early Ballock Knife – an old spelling of the more familiar and vulgar name for the male testes – which was prevalent throughout Western Europe in the Middle Ages. In 1617 a Richard James describes Highlanders as wearing “a long kinde of dagger, broad in ye back and sharpe at ye pointe, which they call a darcke.”
Ideal for close-quarter fighting, the dirk was a long stabbing weapon up to 20 inches in length.
The Dirk Belt
The dirk sheath would often be hung round the Highlander’s waist or attached to a special dirk belt – the criosan biodag (pr: creeshan beedak). That dirk belt became the standard kilt belt that we wear today.
Jewellery
Highlanders were said to be suspicious of money and preferred to carry what wealth they had in the form of jewelry and embellishments to their weapons. Solid silver buttons were one of their favorites and these would often be passed down from father to son. If the Highlander died away from home, it was important to him that he had enough valuables with him that would pay for a good funeral and a headstone.
Plaid brooches or Cairngorm brooches as they are often called – originally because of the Cairngorm stone at their centre. A cairngorm stone is, unsurprisingly, found in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland and is the brown variety of rock crystal often erroneously called “smoky topaz.” Cairngorm has a sentimental and historic interest involved in its use as an ornament for the weapons and picturesque clan dress of the Scottish High-landers.
Clan Badges
It’s said that clan chiefs would often give their clansmen a metal plate of their crest which could be worn as a sign of their allegiance. The usual method of fastening 
it to their clothing was with a leather belt and buckle and when it wasn’t being worn, the belt was coiled around it. That gave rise to the modern convention that we all know, which is the belt and buckle clan badge worn by clan members the world over – the belt and buckle element displaying their allegiance.
Highland dress encapsulates and transfers to its wearer many of those actual and subliminal images and then of course . . . . there’s the little matter of what’s under that kilt . . . . a puzzle that has occupied the minds and eyes of many a lady (can they really be ‘ladies’?) who from the earliest of European cartoons, have been recorded as being agog with curiosity. So . . . you’ll see by now that Highland dress is cool . . . worn by crusty old colonels of the regiment, strutted on the catwalks of modern fashion icons, turned into mega-entertainment in America’s annual ‘Dressed to Kilt’ show and found in the wardrobes of rich and poor, young and old, slim and fat.
Whew! I think those Scots put more into their wardrobe then the average woman. Really, but I know that my most important feature of a mans kilt is the lack things under it…well, so they say! Otherwise, it’s just a skirt!
So now that I have your mind exploding with Scottish Dress knowledge thanks to Wikipedia and www.tartansauthority.com you can take a moment to soak it all in. Maybe you’re in the market for a Kilt for Christmas? Well, Tartans Authority has you covered.
Now, it’s time to check out Michelle’s book with a sexy Scot on it: Love Potions

Dragonshifter Prince Kyran has studied the Earth people and is ready to assimilate. Female shifters are all but going extinct on his planet of Qurilixen, and his people are desperate for mates—so much so they’re taking matters into their own hands. What better place to capture a woman than Earth? After all, dragonshifters had come from there centuries ago. Surely a human female would be honored to be selected by one as fine and fierce as himself?
While on Earth, Kyran stumbles upon the most beautiful woman he’s ever imagined, singing something the natives call rock ’n’ roll. His blood simmers and he knows Eve is the one for him. But taming this feisty female is going to take much more than his training prepared him for.
From the Author
I’m thrilled to be unveiling a new series: Captured by a Dragon-Shifter. But before I tell you about it, I have to say, these are not your normal Dragon Lords books. They’re set in modern day when the dragonshifters and catshifters you know and love visit us here on Earth looking for brides.
If you’re new to my books, the Dragon Lords are my bestselling futuristic romance series. The stories became reader favorites, and so I wrote things from their enemy’s point of view in a spin-off series for the catshifting Lords of the Var. Then they ventured off into the stars in the series installment Space Lords. Now, I’m time traveling with them back to our time with the series Captured by a Dragon-Shifter.which you are now reading book one of. Don’t worry, I have the series reading order on my website to help you figure it all out, http://michellepillow.com/.
To those of you not new to my books, readers have emailed asking Dragon Lords cultural questions since the first dragonshifting prince released years ago. I have teased you with a lot of little hints of how the Draig found brides in “the old days”. Many of you have expressed wanting to climb aboard the space ship and sail away into the future—which would probably take some cryogenic freezing and a lot of icy waiting. Well, before you start packing those sweaters… I don’t want any of you going to that extreme, so I’ve brought your favorite dragonshifters and catshifters to modern-day Earth. They don’t live on our planet, but they have recently started to revisit.
For Dragon Lords and Lords of the Var fans, Captured by a Dragon-Shifter is a modern-day prequel series to those first books. They take place long before the princes you know and love ever found their mates, long before The Dragon’s Queen, in a time when the dragonshifters and catshifters actually—wait for it—liked each other and hung out as friends. They also don’t have Galaxy Brides to bring them women. There’s no one left to marry on the planet and things are starting to get desperate.
Happy Reading! Michelle M. Pillow

Seductive Saturdays- Cheater Homemade Mac & Cheese
This week I’m going to be giving you some tips on how to have a stress free Thanksgiving dinner, because we all know how stressful the holidays can be. How to make sure you never have a dry turkey again, because who likes dry turkey, right? I’ll also be giving you all my Cheater Homemade Baked Mac & Cheese. Are you ready?
Tips: When you’re baking a large meal like Thanksgiving try to use disposable foil pans. Seeing as these aren’t the strongest bottomed thing in the world put the foil pan in another baking pan to bake and move. NO, they are not very pretty but we’re not talking pretty we’re talking stress free. Stress free to me means less dishes and clean up. Speaking of clean up… clean as you go. Don’t wait till everything is done to clean up a mess or to do what dishes need doing. Do them as you go and you have an easier clean up. Do NOT wait till the day before or day of to bake things like your cookies, cakes or pies. In my house my kids love the little piggies in a blanket and my sausage cheddar biscuits for breakfast so i make those the day before, so that they aren’t stale but as for the pies, cakes and cookies that won’t get hard or stale in 48 – 72 hours make those well ahead of time and just store them in air tight containers till the day of. We make our stuffing for the turkey the day before from scratch and store it in the fridge till the next morning. We also get the turkey ready to be stuffed and put into the paper bag… yes a paper grocery bag…. the day before. Basically, I have everything done even my mac and cheese by the night before to where i just have to put the finishing touches, like warming it all up the day of. The only things that need doing the day of is the mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli and a salad, because well you really want your veggies cooked fresh. The potatoes I’ll peel and cut up the day before and just store them in a pot of water in the fridge over night.
Cheater Homemade Baked Mac & Cheese
1-2 boxes of your favorite mac and cheese prepared according to directions
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp ground black pepper
Preheat the oven broiler on high. Spray a deep baking dish with non-stick spray. After you’ve prepared the box mac and cheese according to directions you’re going to mix in ALL of the mozzarella cheese and and about half the cheddar cheese. Mix it good so that there’s cheese all throughout the dish. Pour the mixed mac and cheese into the pan. Spread the rest of the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and sprinkle the black pepper lightly over the cheese. Broil on high for about 5-10 mins or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Let cool before serving. Enjoy.
Turkey in a Bag
I know this is a little weird but stay with me. I promise it works and NO, you will not set your kitchen on fire. *giggles* So to prepare your turkey you need to stuff your turkey with your choice of stuffing. I make homemade cornbread stuffing with bacon crumbles and dried cranberries. Once your turkey is stuffed place on a cookie cooling rack in the bottom of a deep broiling pan and coat well with oil or bacon grease. Placed oiled turkey in the paper bag, still on the cooling rack. Fold close the bag REALLY good, making sure it’s really closed like you would a potato chip bag and staple it closed. Place the bagged turkey in a roasting pan. I just use the deep broiling pan. Coat the bag REALLY well with oil to prevent it from burning. Roast accordingly to the directions on the turkey package. I promise it will be golden brown and so juicy. I actually have a problem with it falling apart when we go to move it to a serving tray. Lol

What if aliens had a nightclub?
What if aliens had a nightclub? I think in my medicine induced fog, I’ve truly lost my mind.
Aliens + NightClub =Area 54! Yes, a little Area 51 Alien madness and Studio 54 nightclub glam.
Ok, let’s go with this theme. What would we see at this hip interstellar establishment? A hip Alien DJ? Maybe some of Michelle’s Dragon Lords might stop by for a drink?
Dancing Aliens? But of course.
And what about Upcoming Events at AREA 54:
MON: REBEL VS. STORM TROOPER LASER TAG
TUE: LIGHTSPEED DATING
WED: ABDUCTOR SUPPORT GROUP, COPING POST ABDUCTION
THURS: GLOW IN THE DARK MASCARADE BALL
FRI: DAVID BOWIE LIVE
I always thought David Bowie was an Alien. But on a serious note, I’ve begun to really enjoy some of the new sci-fi inspired romance novels. Paranormal Romance has begun to dabble in the alien and far off worlds; and I’m glad to jump on this universe hopping bandwagon.
Michelle Pillow has new releases to help wet your intergalactic whistle.
