First, I made the Half-Whole Wheat Honey Oat Flax Bread.
Then I tackled the Cinnamon Crunch Granola.
While stirring the syrup, I let the two-year-old stir the dry ingredients.
This happened:
I totally wouldn’t have punished him. Even though I was rather upset about the expensive flax seeds, raw sunflower seeds, wheat germ now laying on my newly (JUST LAST NIGHT) mopped floor. I understood accidents happened.
But then he laughed.
…
…
HE LAUGHED.
So he went to his room. That wasn’t an overreaction, was it? Was it??
When I got him out, we talked about showing remorse (acting sad) when we make mistakes.
And then we went on with the granola:
Which he insisted on eating. Raw.
And check this out. Oven timer:
Bread machine timer:
Pretty good coordination, right? Now I need to get something ready to go in the oven to take up the 30 minutes rise time after the bread machine beeps. Granola bars? Probably. The zucchini is still frozen. (Thawing on counter.)
How’s your baking day going?
(By the way, I’m also twittering updates here: www.twitter.com/thenaturalmommy)
I WANNA BAKE!! I miss baking, and cooking, and NOT eating pizza, thai, subway, and all other forms of takeout. But my kitchen is a mess, half of my stuff is at an apartment, half is at the house, and I have no counter space. So when’s the next baking day?
Yikes!! Now that is something my daughter would do. I am going to be starting my baking her shortly. My 18 month old daughter has to help. She loves trying to hold the mixer. I dread the bowl going to fly as I hold her the mixer and the bowl at the same time. LOL
wow…um…thats what our kitchen looks like after I cook. It’s kind of a running joke. I may be able to cook gourmet food, but the kitchen looks like it was attacked by preschoolers. I’m kind of a klutz.
I wish I had baking day. I kind of miss having time to really cook.
