Monday In The Kitchen...

Monday we made oatmeal muffins. Old-fashioned oatmeal muffins.

I was trying to think of something to bake, looked in the pantry and we had rolled oats. 

Then I opened this cookbook and turned right to a recipe for oatmeal muffins.

And it actually worked out that I had everything I needed for them. 

Don't you love that? That never happens around here.

So we cranked up the music and got to work. 

I let the kids pretty much to do everything this time.

I mean, normally I let them help out a lot but today time was not of the essence, not at all, so 

we took our time. I gave them the correct measuring cups and let them measure. 

And pour, and mix and test things out, of course.

And you know what I have decided makes baking even better? 

Cute cupcake liners, cute aprons and good music.

Oh, and good help.

And sunshine through our kitchen windows.

Too bad I couldn't be this enthusiastic about cooking, huh?

Ever since Shauna posted a link to this kitchen a few weeks ago I cannot stop fantasizing about it. 

Seriously?! I am so in love with this kitchen, y'all.

Go drool over it right now, then blame Shauna when your husband gets mad at you for wanting

 to re-do your whole kitchen...or you can blame me, or Joy, because it's actually her kitchen anyway.

Oh and today was kind of an alternative 80's kind of day in the kitchen. 

Which means some of this and this, and lots of this.

And yes, my kids might have been a little embarrassed of my singing and no, I don't care.

*Note to self: awesome 80's music always brings me out of a funk. And fast.
