A Morning in the Kitchen

After a comedy of errors, like Jackson gagging because he put too many apple pieces in his mouth which resulted in him throwing up, a frozen banana falling out of the freezer and hurting my foot, Maizie dropping her cereal bowl all over the kitchen floor, I decided I needed to do something relaxing and familiar. You would think I would retreat and say take a shower and get ready for the day. No, instead I spent the morning in the kitchen! It started with Herbed Lamb Shanks in the CrockPot.

Then, I pulled my Amish Baking cookbook and decided to make Peanut Butter Swirl Bars, only to realize that my granulated sugar level was at zero. Oh well, I typed Brown Sugar into my fav recipe website and found BROWN SUGAR MUFFINS!! I think I will make a Maple Butter to accompany these little tasteys!SideNote: Oh KitchenAid Mixer how I missed you! I brought all the attachments and hope to start shredding/slicing/grinding just so we can spend more time together! I did notice that KitchenAid has released a pasta attachment, oh how divine would that be!

So with a large meal in the works, I decided to invite James' coworkers, we'll see who attends, I mean not everyone likes Lamb the way I do! I will probably venture to the grocery store and pickup a few things for a dessert, I just need a tally of coworkers and a good pantry check first!
