I am so glad that you chuckled in the muffin aisle!! Muffins other people bake are so delicious too There is a special market here in atlanta that has killer strawberry muffins, esp toasted with a little butter. And my favorite bakery has awesome carrot muffins.. mmmm.... completely different, but so super delicious!! Seriously though, try making some muffins when you're in the mood. It is so easy and gratifying and you feel SO accomplished! I think your daughter would LOVE it too! She could be the official "scooper" and put them in the muffin tray! Do you have any baking memories with your parents? I have strong memories of making meatballs, and pasta from scratch...!!
