BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Budding Baker Master Arjun

So our grandson Arjun had a baking session with his mom and they baked some luscious blueberry muffins which incidentally are my favourite.

Our little man loves to help his mommy and is always keen to take charge.  He knows his ingredients and will weigh these out.  This kid is going to come and help out in the Jikoni soon I hope.  I cannot wait for  Junior Vithlani and Dadi to cook up some kid friendly recipes in the Jikoni.
