Back of the Box!

One of my favorite things to do it try the recipes that are posted on the back or sides of my everyday groceries. I am not a real big breakfast eater. I mostly like breakfast food at other times than breakfast and my kids don't really like hot cereals but we were running out of ideas so I was going to make malt-o-meal. Low and behold the box has a recipe for muffins. I thought well I don't know if that would be good but what do we have to loose. So we tried them and....they were really really good and I even was tempted to make them again the next day! Moral of the story, read the box and try new things!
