Raspberry Preserves by Mar Alonso

Sarah and I love to make these jam-filled muffins together. We call them "Jammies" and we like to eat them in our "jamas".

Jammies

2 cups self-rising flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup melted butter

1 cup milk

jam

Mix flour and sugar together in a medium size bowl. In another bowl, mix together egg, melted butter and milk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full and top with 1/2 teaspoon of favorite jam or jelly. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

Mommy's Warm Bread Oatmeal

Cornbread Recipe by Linda Hutchinson

My children call this "Mommy's warm bread oatmeal". Warm bread is what they call corn bread.

Mommy's Warm Bread Oatmeal

4 warm bread muffins*

splash of milk

pinch cinnamon

2 teaspoons sugar**

Put two muffins in each bowl. Add a splash of milk (to make an oatmeal-like consistency). Using a fork, mash the muffins and milk until you reach the desired consistency. Add a pinch of cinnamon (to taste). Add a teaspoon of sugar to each bowl. Stir and serve!

Serves 2 small children

On especially cold mornings you might like to eat this warm. Simply use heated milk instead of milk straight from the fridge.

*Currently, I use the Jiffy cornbread mix. I have three young children and don't have time for fancy cornbread!

**Any kind you like. Most of the time I use white table sugar. Brown sugar would probably be delicious in this recipe. Honey might work, too! If you experiment with different sweeteners, make sure to let me know your results!
