We've been Baking!

We actually had some free time last week-end! Mackenzie insisted on watching cartoons, but I was SO tired of hearing the same "toon music" over and over. SO, how did I entertain Mackenzie you ask??! We baked, of course!

Mackenzie has become a major helper in the kitchen. . .almost too much of one at times. But last week-end was all about her, so she was expected to help! We started off the week-end by making homemade cinnamon rolls. YUM! Mackenzie was allowed to do almost everything. . .she still isn't allowed to touch the raw eggs or put things in the oven yet.

Here she is mixing the ingredients. . .

From the time she was itty-bitty, she has always stuck her tongue out when concentrating. She still does it, and it cracks me up!!!

The finished product. They were best the first morning they came out of the oven, but were still delicious reheated in the microwave!!


The next morning we made blueberry muffins. . .from scratch! I got the recipe out of a cookbook that was recommended to me by my sister-in-law. I purchased the book back in November, but I JUST got it last week! Apparently it was on backorder. The book came at a perfect time. .. we had a free week-end, and time to make a wonderful breakfast!

First she had to sift together the flour and baking soda. . .

Next she had to combine the wet ingredients. . .

Combine the wet and dry together. . .and. . .

Bake! YUM! Serve warm with butter or margarine!
