Productive and Loud

So I had a productive day in the kitchen today! I made 3 jars of carrot baby food, 2 ice cube trays of peas baby food, 3 jars of saskatoon jam, and saskatoon muffins. I needed to get the baby veggies made today because I am almost out of all baby food, and I have to wait to make more fruit until we do groceries on friday, and I didn't want to be stuck making everything then. Daniel is a lucky baby though because all those veggies are local and delicious! Today he tried the peas for the first time and I was impressed that he liked them!
As for the loud part, I had to use the blender quite a bit, and both boys hate the sound of it. I don't know if it hurts their ears but they were both crying. Jacob kept telling me to put the blender away. Poor things.
I am impressed with myself though because I forgot that I was wearing my nice white shirt and somehow I did not get a single carrot, pea, or saskatoon stain on it! Hurray!
Anyways, here is my muffin recipe, it is awesome with blueberries too. Once again it is my own edit from a trusted cookbook. Enjoy.
