I've been baking



I had today off work as its a pupil free day. We went to the movies this morning to see "Horton Hears A Who" and then this afternoon did a little bit of baking. My eldest daughter suffers from constipation and there is not an awful lot you can give a 7 year old to treat it (apart from increasing water consumption and fibre). She loves muffins so I make her apple and prune muffins (I don't tell her there are prunes in it) and I find it helps her. The recipe includes oats and only a little bit of sugar so they aren't too bad. My other daughter doesn't like them so I split the basic muffin mixture and make half with banana. They are great lunch box snacks.

My mum used to heat up prunes and serve them up with custard for desert. That usually does the trick and we thought we were getting a super treat.
