The Alpha Bakery

I realize that this blog has mostly--ok always- been about the things that we do. As in trips and places we go. What I forget to include are all of the other things, like baking!
We love to bake~well, I love to bake:)
A while back I ordered the girls a cookbook from Gold Medal(yep, the flour people). We were learning the letters of the alphabet, one a week would be the focus. Anyway, The Alpha Bakery Children's Cookbook is great! There is something to bake for each letter of the alphabet, from A to Z :)

Today, we decided to bake the Raisin-Apple Muffins, just because. Although we are past letter learning, Faith is onto learning fractions. Where better to learn than in our kitchen, by baking up a yummy treat:)
What we (well, actually I) have decided that we love MOST about this little book is the simplicity of the recipes. You can bake any of it in just a few minutes:) It is geared towards kids so it is simple! Plus, it is not all sugar packed and the goods turn out delicious. You don't have to know how to cook and bake in order to have something that tastes good!!!!!


Like these raisin-apple muffins, there are cheerios, applesauce, raisins, and milk---not all that bad for you, right? Plus, it is all stuff that you would have in the house already! So, I don't mind feeding it to the girls~~~~and, they don't mind either!

....And, they were just perfect for this cool, cloudy, rainy day---with my cup of tea!
