I feel that I only end up cribbing about the challenges of having a baby and never really tell you how awesome it is! So here are some things which will tell you how happy parenting makes me!
Everytime he smiles and looks at me with those dynamite twinkly eyes something melts inside me!(like a choco lava cake.Sigh!!)
Everytime he does something new I feel like I have accomplished something akin to going to the moon!(like the little butt lifts he does when trying to turn!Like omg he can move so much!)
Everytime I am able to make him laugh I am actually rolling a video camera inside my brain so that I can keep playing that moment again and again
Every single time he quietens just by hearing my voice when he is scared , feeels so special!Like I am the most special person to someone!
Do you want to guess why I am in such an great mood?Cause baby has been sleeping for more than an hour and I have already made two recipes in this time and I feel sooo accomplished and hence all happy thoughts are pouring out of me.
But seriously baby V has brought us such laughter and positive energy in this house that even our plants are feeling the warmth!Everything is in bloom!
Now for the new recipe!I had one apple and I wanted to make it count.The most sure shot combination is apple and cinnamon and something that I hadn’t made was an apple crumble muffin.So here it is!
The recipe is loosely based on the apple crumble muffin recipe from thespruce.com.The crumble topping is the one used in all my fruit crumbles(recipe for plum and cherry crumble).The muffin itself is super fluffy and almost forms a puddle in your heart when you eat it.
