Dollhouses, Dump Trucks and {PB&J Muffins}

Posted: January 17, 2013

I was a little worried about moving to the mountains for Babycakes' sake, because I wasn't sure she'd have very many friends or the same opportunities, or that she'd turn out "weird."  But as I said in the recent Home, Sweet Home post, she LOVES it here.  It is all so HER!  She loves snow. She loves bundling. She loves dirt AND wearing dresses. She loves meeting new people and introducing herself. And most of all, she loves exploring.  Even a trip to the mailbox is an adventure...AND a workout! Today we cleaned up the backyard a bit, now that it's thawed out. Instead of the negative 10 degree temperatures we'd been having, today it hit almost 60! And we found her new most treasured item.

Dollhouse, Schmollhouse

Babycakes found (and played with for almost 2 hours!) an old, decrepit, abandoned dump truck toy.

She put dirt, rocks, and later Dora's entire family in the dump truck.  Why would they want to spend the day in their posh dollhouse when they could ride across the rocky dirt on a fabulous adventure?!

After all that dirt play, we were hungry.  So I whipped up a batch of new scrumptious muffins!

Introducting PB&J Muffins:

Made with powdered peanut butter (PB2), greek yogurt, and agave nectar, these delicious muffins are low in fat and sugar.  Perfect for a quick weekday morning breakfast or mid-day snack!

Any idea of another type of flour would work? Like almond, oat or wheat?

I usually always bake with whole wheat pastry flour...I'm just out!

Hi. Do you use fat free or 2% Greek yogurt? I'm so psyched that you used PB2 in this. I haven't used it in anything other than oatmeal.

Either should work fine. I use both interchangeably in my cooking/recipes.

These sound so yummy? Do you ever do paleo versions of your recipes?
Like for this one would almond flour work? I really need to order some pb2! I wish the stores had it.
Also, we just moved into the foothills of northern Ca and I'm really enjoying your mountain home posts :)
Thanks,
Susie

I love little girls in dresses who play in the dirt. My daughter loves her trucks and dresses!

Wow! I am so amazed that you let your child play in the dirt. I'm such a worrier that I'd be obsessing over the fact that there's dirt.

The photo of the muffins just made my tummy rumble- literally! PB & J is probably my favorite flavor combo ever.
And K is SO adorable!!

Very yummy! I had these this morning and I knew if it was a recipe from you that it would be tasty...but I decided to let my taste buds confirm. They are in agreement. :-)
