Everyone gets homesick. It may be a case of "I miss my hometown" or a case of "I miss my mommy", but nevertheless, it's a case of homesickness. A few weeks ago I went home for a four day weekend, and I absolutely positively needed it. I got to visit with family, go to Emily's, my niece, 6th birthday party, and bake bread for various family members. I even got to spend a whole day with Emily. Hence the new blog post.
She helped me make my recipe for cinnamon raisin bread and two different types of muffins with her own twist. Emily had never been around bread dough before and apparently it can entertain 6 year olds for hours. She helped me roll it out, and even got her hands dirty with the milk, sugar, cinnamon filling. She kept putting her little hand prints into the dough every time I turned my back (I wish I would have thought to take a picture).
After some awesome bread making, she wanted to make some of those quick and easy muffin packages you buy in the baking isle at stores. She picked out banana nut and blueberry. My step-dad is allergic to blueberry so Emily decided to dye the mixes different colors so Papa wouldn't eat the wrong muffin (because the blueberries in the mix obviously weren't noticeable enough). She decided that the banana nut muffins would be blue, and the blueberry muffins would be pink. She also decided to try straight up food coloring. Needless to say a hilarious face came out of that idea. :D
No new recipes or anything for this blog post. I just wanted to update and share some adorable pictures of my niece with you guys. I guess the lesson behind this blog post is to always go home when you first get that feeling of homesickness. Never let months pass and then spend four days at home. Yes it's fun, but it's also four whole days at home with your family. Just sayin'.....
