The school year is about to begin and the kids and I are back to school<\/a> baking. YES, most people shop for school supplies (we do that too) around this time. We also bake.<\/p>\n\n\n

Muffin Recipe Ideas for Back to School Breakfasts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, my three kids and I head to the kitchen this time of year to make dinners, snacks, and back to school breakfasts that will freeze well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby <\/a><\/i>is the most enthusiastic helper.  He sees me headed to the kitchen and grabs his wooden spoon, waving it in the air, screaming “BAKE, BAKE, ME BAKE TOO!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preschooler <\/a><\/i>is a fan of pouring and mixing.  He is my “rule follower” in the kitchen and doesn’t like it when we make up our own recipes. He likes the predictability of old favorites and requests them often.  (This is the kid who declares Wild Rice Soup to be his absolute favorite meal in the whole wide world )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grade schooler<\/a> <\/i>is the real chef.  She is able to grab a recipe and make almost anything from scratch all on her own.  She is not afraid to try new things and experiment with new flavor combos.  It is fun to see her read a recipe. You can almost see her baking in her head. Then, three minutes later she will say, “I could substitute a half cup of whole wheat for white flour, change out some oil for apple sauce, and reduce the sugar to make this healthier.” (I just sit back and watch thinking – WOW, is she a mini-me or what?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All four of us in the kitchen: total chaos! But oh, so much fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
