Spinach Cake Muffins

I've been trying to be more inspired and creative with what I am feeding T these days.  Breakfast in particular has been in a rut.  These muffins seemed interesting, especially given the color.  I liked they incorporated some spinach, although I am not looking to dupe him.  They are easy to make, given the use of the Cuise.  I made regular sized muffins instead of minis, and think I would try minis next time. I will also try using some (or all) whole wheat flour.  They really are a vibrant green color.  T really enjoyed it.

Crock Pot Mexican Bean and Corn Soup

That's right.  I said Crock Pot.

Maiden voyage on the nine year old crock pot today.  Hard to believe.  I guess my (admittedly dumb) reasons for not using it: 1) it would make too much food 2) I'd burn the house down, have been proven unfounded.  This soup is incredibly easy to make and tastes very good.  Since it's from a kids' recipe site, it's not spicy, but there is good flavor.  I added a little ghost pepper salt and it was even better.  T even ate some for dinner, mostly focusing on the beans and corn.  Will make this again.

Pumpkin Waffles

It's pumpkin baked good time!  The best time of the year (well, one of them anyway).  I made these waffles a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday.  They are delicious and this recipe makes a ton.  I froze some and they reheat well, just toasted lightly in the toaster oven.

Alas, no picture as T got sick just as I sat down with my plate of waffles. Sigh.
