Getting Fat for the New Year

I don't typically do the whole "New Year's Resolution" thing, but this year my goal is to get fat. Okay it is not really my goal to get fat, but it is my goal to learn how to cook which may make me fat. :-\ However, my first attempt to make muffins went pretty horribly wrong, so it may go the other way and I may starve in the end.

First, I decided January I am going to learn how to make simple breakfast foods.

Muffins 

Muffins Recipe

• 1 egg
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup oil
• Cream together egg, oil, sugar, and milk. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Scoop into greased muffin tin and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I am a very organized person, so I like to have everything out and ready to go before getting started.

It was faster to mix than I expected.

Eh... they looked okay.

Madison liked them okay.

Libby and I did not like them!

She was quick to tell me she was done.

So down the drain...

... and into the trash they went!!!!

Madison did finish one though. :-/

Luckily these girls got a snack that was not baked by me.

Things I've Learned

• I don't have sugar (and Stevia is NOT the same)! 
• I don't think I will ever get the Stevia taste out of my mouth!!!! This is being said after watermelon, a bagel, chili, corn, and cheese tortillas!
• My Baking Powder was past its best by date and had never been opened (shows how often I bake). :-/
• The recipe I used may need more milk or water or something. I couldn't stir it once all the ingredients were in. I added more milk. However, I am not sure how that affected my recipe, since they turned out awful with the Stevia.
• Cooking is not as time consuming as I always assumed. It took a little longer than muffin mix, but I was still running on time to take Libby to school (if I needed to).

Well wish me and my poor family luck! If my family comes to beg family and friends (or possibly strangers) for food be kind and realize they have me feeding them.
