Rain, Rain, and More Rain

I was inspired by Karen to do some baking. Since today is YET ANOTHER rainy cool day, it seemed like the perfect time.

So far we have made 4 dozen banana muffins and 6 dozen pumpkin chip muffins. Once they are done baking we are going to make some oatmeal cookies. Of course this will take awhile since I do have the world's smallest oven and can only fit ONE muffin tin in the oven at a time.

My 8 yr old has been helping me by reading the recipes outloud and doubling all the ingredients. I think this counts as school :-) The children have been looking through the cookbooks and picking out things that they think would be good for us to bake, so I have no idea what we may be making after the cookies.

I will be freezing some of the muffins and cookies so we will be able to bring them along with us on our road trip in a few weeks. I already have a bunch of brownies frozen. I so loathe the fast food places that we invariably eat at while traveling that I am hoping this will cut back on it a bit. I am still trying to decide what sorts of "real" food I should bring with us.

Well, I am off to do the muffin tin switch-a-roo and hopefully get a couple of miles in on my treadmill.
