I had a really successful Freezer Cooking in an Hour session last week and I didn’t get a chance to post about it until tonight!
The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles turned out beautifully and they are SO good.
Definitely a winner recipe — and they freeze well, too!
The Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins were also a hit. The outside of the muffin is delicious and the inside jelly adds a fun surprise. These would make great lunchbox treats.
And finally, Kathrynne and Silas made the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies all by themselves. I was quite proud of them for reading and following their very first recipe with almost no help from me.
While I’m not completely sure that they did everything exactly right, the end results were more than edible. And they were incredibly excited that their cookies turned out so well. I was thrilled to see them stepping up and taking on new responsibilities — even though it’s bittersweet to realize that I’m working myself out of a job!

You’ll never be out of a job. They’ll always need you in some capacity.
I’m almost 38 and last week my infant was hospitalized. All I wanted was for my Mom to be there.

Crystal,
The thing that really worries me here is that you said the children “followed the recipe” haven’t you taught them that they should NEVER follow the recipe??
Heehee, ok…I couldn’t help but tease you a little bit on that 🙂
So precious that they are baking !
Crystal says
Your comment cracked me up! 🙂
