I had Maddie try out a new recipe today. Pumpkin Streusel Muffins (recipe will follow). They are pretty good-not with the rich spicy flavor that we are used to in our 'punkin' muffins, but a nice mellow flavor that isn't too overpowering.
I have this not-so-nice side to me that is a bit of a perfectionist, so when my kids bake I tend to want to run screaming from the room because of all the spilled flour and glops of batter that get everywhere. It's really sad, I know and I'm trying to get over it. So while Maddie was making her muffins (and a large mess) I ventured into the kitchen for a few pictures.
Spooning the batter into the tins. And onto the sides of the tin as well. *shudder*
Mmmm...streusel!!
Fresh from the oven.
Don't they look yummy? Didn't she do a good job? :o)

Hi Jen,
The muffins look great.on the downside the "not so nice perfectionist" part of you might never go away but you do become MORE aware of it as time goes on:)
