Baking with Ben

For the past couple of months, Ben has wanted to make Chocolate Chip Muffins.  He had never had chocolate chip muffins… but he just KNEW they were going to be good.

I looked around for a recipe for him, and found one- I won’t post it because it wasn’t good enough that we will ever re-use it… but he was a happy, happy boy.  His sister was away at camp so he had the kitchen and mom all to himself.  This is rare- with Maddie wanting to be a pastry chef… she thinks she’s an expert already and constantly bosses him around.

I was able to sit back in my chair with my camera and let him go to town.  I offered advice if I saw he was about to do something that would kill the muffins (tablespoon instead of teaspoon kind of stuff) and take pictures.

They turned out exactly as they should have- they had cinnamon in them and I think that none of us were fond of that- but they were edible.

And not one picture of the finished product… We were too busy eating them while they were warm!

  1. awww alone time with mom, makes me think back to you and pat…..being little, where did the time go?

  2. I don’t know where the time went, but I am certainly feeling like I don’t have enough of it with both of them. I can’t believe he is going to be 10 this month.
