Poppy seed muffins sounded like the right choice. I whipped out my trusty and beloved Kitchen Aid and starting measuring out ingredients (I will share the recipe and photos a little later). After mixing all of the ingredients together I popped the muffin mixture into the oven and waited patiently for 20 minutes (Yep, that's all it takes, quick and easy)!
The Kids woke up by now and ran down stairs immediately when they smelled the aroma coming from the oven. My kids are in love with the Caribou Lemon Poppy seed bread and White Hot Cocoa so I knew this was going to be a special treat. Once the timer buzzed (which meant breakfast was almost ready) the next steps to preparing the muffins were underway (The lemon glaze frosting....my daughter’s favorite part and her own special homemade recipe). We whipped the icing up and drizzled it over the perfectly baked muffins. The kids couldn't wait to dig in.
We served the warm lemon poppy seed muffins with a nice tall glass of milk. The kids were satisfied and Mom had accomplished yet another recipe this week (Wahoo)!! Everyone had a full tummy and smiles on their faces (Mission Accomplished). We walked out the door for school and I knew everyone was going to have a great day (nothing like a quick, hot, yummy "out of the ordinary" breakfast to set everyone on the right track....It's truly that easy)!
The point is that even on stressful, busy mornings when everyone is going a million different directions, there is always time for a quick, easy, delicious meal to enjoy with your family.
I am a full time working Mom so everyday for me seems rushed, but I'm making an effort to slow things down a bit and make time for what's really important (My kids, My family and everyone's health and well being).
Milk and Muffins :)
