Hello, friends.
We are moving right along with our homeschool rhythm and loving it. Mondays are the busiest days in our little blue house. Along with Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Math, we always do our baking for the week. We've discovered Forest isn't too fond of sandwiches, so we are now adding weekly muffins to the baking mix. That way we can bring along a few muffins when we head ever to Sienna's homeschool co-op on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (I am planning to do a few posts on homeschooling very soon. I would like to write a bit about our homeschool environment, our plans for the school year, what the co-op is like and share some of Sienna projects.) For now, on to the muffins...
Last week we made Maple Glazed Pumpkin muffins. They were so good, but a tad bit sticky. The recipe called for a mix of whole wheat flour and white flour. It also used olive oil rather than vegetable oil. Honey and maple syrup were the sweeteners instead of sugar. (We are looking for more recipes made with whole wheat flour instead of white flour.)
Sienna likes to put in our ingredients after I measure them out for her.
She also helps by stirring the ingredients together.

Forest approved!
So did Sienna!
Sunshine wanted to do a taste test. (She no longer has to wear her cone. She is all healed from being spayed now.)
This morning, we made Apple Cinnamon muffins. This recipe used all whole wheat flour and honey for the sweetener.

These muffins were quite tasty! Sienna had two muffins for lunch and Forest had a muffin and a half.
Happy Baking!
