I started out this morning determined to not serve quick and easy to the daycare kids so I used some instant oatmeal in the cupboard as the base for a healthy muffin. Muffins are not typically great results for me, but these were pretty good. I used 3 packets of blueberry muffin oatmeal, added in about a cup of milk, 3 teaspoons of baking powder an egg, and a tablespoon of melted butter. In the end, I wish I had used 2 tablespoons of butter but other than that, it was a great little muffin and the kids ate them up! I bet fresh blueberries could also be added to make them even more healthy and moist.
Tonight's a dinner out for me and the hubby! I love those date nights - I think we're headed for Mexican food and I am pretty excited. I never did get around to my weekly menu, but so far we've avoided the take out call. Tonight's meal was planned already so I'm giving myself a pass to enjoy. Not to mention it's raining here again and I am not seeing a pleasant run in my future with a chilly rain + the beginning of a chest cold. We're already signed up to run a 10 mile run on Sunday so I want to give myself permission to rest a bit before then and hopefully knock this cold out of me. All of the daycare kids have been sick so I'm sure this is just a byproduct of my profession.
Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope it's a great rest of the week...hopefully I'll have more yummy stuff to share soon!
Your muffins look perfect! And I love your shortcut with the oatmeal packets :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! We're not big instant oatmeal people, so I'm not sure how the ended up in the cupboard, but I'm glad they did!
