Cooking Game and Muffins

I’m not sure what it is, but the summer months make me want to make muffins. It’s become almost a tradition around my house. When the long days of summer roll around, we roll out of bed and pad around the house for a bit in our pajamas. A few short weeks ago we were rushing around to head out the door, but not anymore. Now we eventually plod into the kitchen to make muffins.

We aren’t fancy. Our cooking games for muffins are simple enough – we grab a box we like and use the ingredients that are required. Sometimes though we get a bit creative about the size of the muffins we make. With the same box of muffin mix, the cooking games can make six large muffins like you might get in a deli or you can make twelve small muffins that have a bit better effect on your waistline than the larger variety. With the muffin cooking games, however, you can also decide to ditch the muffins altogether and make a loaf instead. Think of the moist loaves of banana nut or cinnamon bread you can make for breakfast and I’m sure you’ll understand our fascination.
