Wifey Status

So last night I decided to put my new "wife" skills to good use and do some baking. After work I went to the grocery store and got stuff to make banana nut muffins for breakfast the next day. I also thought I'd take my co-workers something to say "thank you" for taking care of all my clients while I was gone for the wedding and our honeymoon, so I got stuff to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies too! When I got home I found out that at the car wash that Jase's dad owns in Hurricane, one of the customers was pulling out of the tunnel and instead of hitting her breaks,  hit the gas pedal and ran through the pay booth and also hit one of the workers. She hit him and he went through the brick wall, pinning him between the car and the building behind the wall. Miraculously, he is in a lot better shape then anyone thought and ended up with no broken bones...just a lot of stitches.  But I thought we would make a plate of cookies to take to him today as well to let him know we are thinking of him. So last night I spent my time baking yummy treats and not going to lie,  it smelled AMAZING in the kitchen.

Peanut Butter Banana Nut Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

So far they have been a huge hit! Jase texted me this morning once I was at work saying "I love those muffins :) they're  bomb" and everyone at worked loved the cookies.

Okay, fine. So what if the muffins were made from a $1.00 mix that you just add water too....and the cookies are made from 3 ingredients. It's the thought that counts right??

Just add 1/2 cup of water and I even added some peanut butter chips to the mix

EASIEST recipe ever!!
