This all started last week when my friend, Kathy was bemoaning the 'Muffins for Moms' breakfast in her kindergarten class tomorrow. All the moms come to school and have mid morning muffins with their kids. SOOOO cute, can't wait to do this with Nora.
Problem being, Kathy is a self-proclaimed hideous cook! Last year it took her 6 hrs to bake 48 muffins because she kept burning them.
Here's where I step in,
Me: " Kathy, just let me baked the muffins."
Her: " Are you serious? That's insane, you don't want to do that, you don't have time"
Me: " Hello woman! I'm a stay at home mom that works part time and LOVES to cook! Let me do it!"
Her: " You need Prozac but ok"
Baking started yesterday, first batch was Blueberry Pound Cake made into muffins. This is quite possible my favorite cake from mom's recipe box. (Short back story, Rich hates blueberries and when he first met me he ate 2 pieces to not hurt my feelings so he'd have a shot at me. It's since become a great "war story" for him)
Second batch, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal muffins! I once again deferred to my moms' Oatmeal Cake recipe, added more flour, more oatmeal, and chocolate chips. These things are sinful! Thank goodness they are to be consumed by hi-octane, calorie burning 6 yr olds!. Although Kathy, might KILL me after the sugar rush these are going to cause, but hey there's oatmeal right? Gotta be ok if there's 2 c. of oatmeal in them?
Third batch, Strawberry Pound Cake made into muffins! I have HIT the jackpot! Can you just imagine strawberries all cooked into the shortcake, cut in half slathered with whip cream....OHHH so yummy. I didn't try it for fear that submissive fat cells would try to revolt against my diet.
All this culinary bliss yielded 62 delicious muffins for which Kathy is SO grateful. Hopefully, they live up to her bragging about getting her 'personal chef' to cook gourmet muffins. She cracks me up!
I will gladly give the recipes to anyone who wants them, but they are downstairs right now and I'm too lazy to go get them.
