So you know how your having a good day until your kids have plucked your last nerve. Well I got them back today! It seemed like I had to tell them multiple times to do several things today. All of this during our celebratory dress like a cow at Chick Fil A and even after. I even let them play on the playground.
Todays dinner was an easy one. Hotdogs, mac and cheese and a side of carrots. Only one of those is acceptable by the children. However due to lack of time to eat ice cream at lunchtime the negotiation was all dinner had to be eaten before the ice cream was consumed. One point for mom for that plan. One poor child was compliant!
Enter my devious plan to get those children. Pinterest Challenge for day 12. Muffins!
Spinach muffins! I'll show those kids. The green I was concerned about but they are always trying to steal my pistachio muffins so I thought I was ok there.
While they were napping I made this batch and worked quickly to get them in the oven before my plan was blown. I had to make the dry ingredients bowl was complete before I turned on the blender.
Look what else gets thrown in! Bananas!
All the dry ingredients got mixed with the wet mix from the blender then scooped into the muffin tray.
They smelled amazing when they were cooking. I m not sure if it was the bananas or the cinnamon. Even when one child came down she said how good something smelled.
Can I have a muffin, momma? Yes, yes you can honey! Can I just saw that was the first thing she took a bite of too. She even let me know it smelled better up close. However I did get multiple questions. Why's it this color? Are there chocolate chips in here? What kind of muffin is it? A good one that's what kind it is, lol.
Who cares if it's a pea green unattractive color! This momma just fed her kids a muffin with bananas and spinach in it. Hehe I feel almost evil.
I would like to reduce the sugar (3/4 cups) and maybe up the spinach and bananas to make it a wee bit healthier. The recipe was really easy to make. Blending everything in a blender makes the mixing easier. The recipe did have a quick prep time too. I would have to say with 2 kids (other child ate one and tried several times to try and steal another) wanting second muffins this is a #pinterestwin!
