One of the special little treats we have from time to time are blueberry muffins. I really love them and the whole family really like the change of pace from regular bread. I make a few muffins and the rest of the batter I make into a loaf pan and it makes a very nice loaf of blueberry bread. We had some last night and the left overs have made a couple of very nice snacks today I think next time I will make banana bread muffins just as a change of pace from the blueberry muffins.
A spoon full of protein
Earlier my son came in and told me he was hungry for something, yet didn’t know what he was hungry for. I threw out a couple ideas for him, none of which he was interested in. He kept wandering around the kitchen, looking in cupboards and in both of the refrigerators and freezers.
There is plenty of healthy snacks, fruit and fixings to make sandwiches out of. At one point, I thought he just was on the lazy side today and wanted me to fix him something. Finally, I did what my mom used to do when as a kid and didn’t know what I wanted to eat. I got out the peanut butter and a large spoon, scooped out a spoonful of the peanut butter and handed it to him. I was tired of him hanging on the refrigerator door with it open, if truth be known.
He asked the silly question of course, “What is that?” (I knew that he would) And I just told him it was a new easy snack called peanut butter on a spoon. He shrugged and ate it. He even washed his spoon after he was finished. And it made him stop hanging out in the kitchen and hanging on my fridge doors, plus he got a bit of protein in his lanky body!
