Fun, Educational Activities For Parents And Children
Children who receive lots of positive attention from the adults in their lives are more likely to develop a clear system of values and live a productive and satisfying life. Take a break from homework, housework, or wasting time and have some fun together! (There will be learning, too!)

2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 cup yogurt
1 cup quick oatmeal, uncooked
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, olive oil, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
