this morning while digging around the kitchen for breakfast food, i came across a package of muffin mix that cheerfully proclaimed “Just Add Milk!” being that i am a failure at making anything major in the kitchen, i decided to take the challenge of just adding milk, and make muffins!

armed with an ipod and a muffin tin, i mixed and poured and preheated and felt like an awesome adult there for a few minutes.

i watched the muffins like a hawk. my first time baking something would NOT end in horrible flaming disaster! the ipod served as my timer and they came out beautiful.

a little messy in the pan (sorry for the blur, i suck at holding my camera steady)

but ultimately a complete success!

i placed one on a small plate (she can only have one due to her sugar allowances) and left it for my mom in her room where she was sleeping. she woke up, looked at it and looked at me like i had no head. then asked what i did with her daughter. these things tasted as good as they looked and smelled. all in all a great breakfast.

i’m pretty sure my dad would be grinning from ear to ear right now.
