So, this has definitely been some of the worst weeks of my life. My eardrum ended up rupturing and my sinuses are playing a huge role in it. The only upside is that I was wrong on my weight and I haven’t gained a single pound in 4 weeks. The Dr. wasn’t concerned and said my baby is actually measuring ahead of schedule. Another 23″ baby possibly? I am also 2 cm dilated, so hopefully only a few more weeks to go! This week’s recipe is Gingerbread Muffins. mmmm I am ready for breakfast already!!
Gingerbread Muffins
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Place water and butter in a small microwave dish (such as a Pyrex measuring cup). Heat in microwave in ten-second increments until water boils and butter melts.
Meanwhile, whisk the egg well in a mixing bowl. Add sugar and molasses and mix well. Add water and butter mixture and stir well. Add remaining ingredients. Without touching the wet mixture below, lightly stir together the dry ingredients to combine, then stir them into the wet mixture until just combined. (Over-stirring the wet and dry mixtures will create holes in the baked muffins.) Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake for 10 minutes for mini muffins and 20 minutes for regular muffins. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
My progress:
Length of Time: 36 weeks
Pounds Gained: 35
