food recipe

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin pan. Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, peanuts and brown sugar in a small bowl, then set aside.

• In a large bowl, stir flours with sugar, baking powder, five-spice powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin with oil, water, eggs and vanilla. Then whisk in peanut butter. Pour onto flour mixture and stir just until combined. Mixture will be quite thick.

• Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan and sprinkle with topping. Bake for about 22 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

5130 EIGHTEENTH SIDEROADREINBOW RIDGE COUNTRY ESTATE & EQUESTRIAN FACILITY IN KING

Here’s HowGenerate an income from the property by leasing the horse facilities to a professional equestrian business owner that wants to run their business from your farm property. It’s a “win-win” for everyone!

Benefits of Ownership• Financially the property can pay for itself or subsidize a significant portion of theproperty expenses and overheads.• Top-notch training and care for your own horses are literally steps from your front door. • The love of the sport can be truly appreciated on your own property.

We have several such opportunities available in King and Brock Township, the heart of horse countryin southern Ontario. Financials are available on a confidential basis.

State-of-the-art equestrian properties generating significant income are difficult to acquire and often overlooked by individuals seeking a country house with private horse facilities. Country properties with a small horse stable seem to be the most popular choice but these properties typically lack the riding facilities to truly enjoy your love of the sport.

If you are looking for a country home and have limited your search criteria to a smaller “gentleman’s farm” perhaps you want to consider another alternative.Why not consider owning a full-scale equestrian farm that includes a fabulous home, stables and both a large indoor and outdoor arena and enjoy all the benefits of a state-of-the-art facility that can pay for itself?
