This morning was spent prepping food! And WOW. Having Brady home and rocking baby duty made for a very productive handful of hours for me!!
While the kids ate breakfast, I mixed up a big batch of party mix, and the first batch of pumpkin muffins. Rarely do I get that much done before the kids leave for school!
I continued onto a second batch of muffins, and as soon as those were in the oven, I started on the cake mix cookies. Devils food and lemon for homemade oreos.
I’ll admit that I actually felt somewhat defeated with how well the muffins turned out. They turned out WAY better than usual! But I used canned pumpkin from the grocery store :/ Thats the only difference. It makes me sad that my cooked, home preserved pumpkin doesn’t make as nice of a muffin. But maybe its too wet? I’m not totally sure yet, but I won’t give up. All my efforts still turned out a huge haul of baking!
I took a breather at that point and had *ahem* breakfast…
Yes. Thats coffee in my weekend mug. Its Wednesday, for reference. And the beaters from my cream cheese icing. You know you’re all just jealous.
Once my coffee was where it belonged, I filled the oreos…
And used the rest of the filling to top up a muffin for everyone for after school.
Now. I am beat. BEAT. But one can only sit for so long before one must get her butt up and take her baby in for another appointment, mustn’t one?
One must.
