Amy and I have been doing a lot of baking recently. My New Years Intention was to send Ron to work with lunch everyday and get back into menu planning and so far so good. The baking is so that Ron can have a treat in his lunch box and also so Amy and I have an activity to do together.
Despite the heat, baking is fun and we both enjoy it. Amy is a good helper, especially when it comes to cleaning up and can be relied upon to lick spoons and bowls clean.

The chocolate chip cookies were a complete disaster, well not really, in fact they were so delicious that I sensibly only made 6 and froze the rest of the dough for use at a later date. Hmmm. Well, lets see. Apparently frozen cookie dough should be a banned substance, it was so delicious I couldn’t stop eating it and now its all gone. Bad me.

The lemon and poppyseed muffins were a hit although Ron didn’t like the “crunchy stuff on top” otherwise known as a glaze. I did so I will use it when I make these again!

Amy wasn’t a big fan of the cooked product but happily got the batter all over her face, hands, t-shirt and hair.

And then threw a tantrum when I took the bowl away from her!
