Jake's Messipe

Lincoln loves to cook and bake. He does pretty much all of the cooking and baking around here and Jake has decided that he too wants to bake like Daddy. He comes up with all sorts of strange recipes. So far none of them have required ovens. His favorite sandwich recently was peanut butter and jelly with a layer of Kraft American Cheese.

He has been begging Lincoln to let him try out a new recipe that he thought up and Lincoln was teasing him about it being a "messipe" instead of a "recipe". Lincoln told him that he wasn't going to make them with him but maybe Mommy would bake with him.

After a long pause Jake responded with: "That's FUNNY Daddy!" Obviously he knows Mommy doesn't bake.

I did decide to try the recipe with him this morning and so far this is where it's at. Lincoln and Hannah decided it needs more peanut butter but other than that they were pretty good.

Crushed pretzels mixed with a splash of milk.
Mix in marshmellows melted in a dollop of margarine.
Mix in a spoonful of peanut butter.
Put in mini-muffin pan
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

We're going to try it again tonight with more peanut butter.

Interestingly enough, Jake refused to try them.
