January 22nd

Breakfast: French Breakfast Puffs. These sound fancy, but they're really just basic muffins dipped in butter and cinnamon-sugar. They're easy and as muffins go, pretty quick. Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmet
1/8 t. salt.

1 beaten egg
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. melted butter

1/4 c. sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon

Mix dry ingredients together. In another bowl, combine wet ingredients, then add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fill 12 muffin cups and bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. Immediately dip tops into 3 T. melted butter, then cinnamon-sugar. Two school kids, one accountant, and a toddler can finish all 12 in the blink of a bleary, sleepy eye.

Planned dinner: pizzas. Actual dinner: kids had mac and cheese before we dropped them at Hogues for Babysitters Club. We then went to Hamricks for the big DiGiorno party. They had a bunch of DiGiorno pizzas and we all ate them. That was the party. Then we also played a couple party games. And it's true: DiGiorno does make a better-than-usual frozen pizza.
