Lazy Baking

Well, I guess I wouldn't necessarily call myself lazy considering I sometimes can't believe I ever consider baking after the hectic work/home days I have been having! Emmy is eating so much food these days it is tough to keep enough nutritious snacks around. I don't have time these days to bake everything from scratch but I have figured out a way to modify the bought stuff. I have been buying the Betty Crocker blueberry muffin mix but adding fresh blueberries. I also throw in about 1/2 cup of oatmeal (I add a little extra milk so it is not dry) and use apple sauce instead of the oil. Voila! I didn't have to make the muffins from scratch but I still added some nutritious ingredients. Tonight I actually baked banana bread from scratch and was reminded of how much easier, and how many less dishes there are, when I follow my "lazy recipe"!
