see.breakfast.in.bed

When it comes to mornings there are 2 types of people: morning people and those who dislike morning people. I am the former, Mike is the latter. I love mornings. Once I wake up, I can't fall back to sleep and I am full of energy. Most mornings, I get up and I am busy doing things and (by no fault of my own) they happen to be very loud activities. Again, probably the reason Mike, is not a morning person. So this past Saturday I decided to wake up and stay busy by making Mike breakfast in bed. I know, I know... so nice :0)
Breakfast in bed: Orange and Honey Muffins.
Step 1: Grate 2 sweet ripe oranges for orange zest.

Step 2: Peel zested oranges, cut each orange into small 1/4" slices.
Step 3: Some Honey- I happened to have Orange Honey but the type doesn't matter.
Step 4: 1 teaspoon honey in muffin cups.
Step 5: Place an orange slice on top of each teaspoon of honey.
Step 6: Combine dry and wet ingredients of flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, orange zest, eggs, milk( instead of milk I used a combination of soy milk, applesauce, and yogurt), and oats!
Once combined spoon into muffin cups on top of orange and honey.
Step 7: Bake until golden on top.
Step 8: Bring tea and muffins to grouchy non-morning person and suddenly morning people are not so bad! This can work on just about anyone! I have found Christmas mornings are only complete with fresh cinnamon rolls and coffee = morning people instantly!
