So I have decided that we will start making piping hot, homemade muffins each Sunday. Fine. It's a great idea, we get to have nice hot muffins on Sunday morning and then there are left overs for a few mornings for Evelyn. Except that as Les puts it , I "scour books and the internet for obscure recipes full of organic granola from some hole in the wall road side Montana Grill", and these recipes have been nothing but a dry, tasteless excercise in futility. Seriously, it's been this way for YEARS , whenever I pick out a breakfast-y thing to try, it's awful. So after a few tries of bad muffins , I freaked out and bought some Duncan Hines Blueberry Muffin Mix and.........
HALLELUYA!!!! we had a pan full of beautifully browned, moist and delicious muffins this morning. I love the ready mixes and they are now my new Sunday morning thing- I am a convert. When I think of the wasted ingredients over the years, I just cringe.
The other thing is, that on Sunday morning, you are allowed to read at the table. Bean loves this and has only recently been allowed to join the "Read While Eating Club". From these pictures you can see that not only can she be a mini-Les but that she enjoys the splurge of eating and reading at the same time.
