I'm doing a practice take-home SAT 2 (Subject test) for Spanish and all I can find having to do with this phrase is "crumbs". Please help!

I can't remember the exact phrase with migas, but I seem to recall it was "making a mountain out of a molehill". (blowing something out of porportion)

Two dictionaries I looked in included this definition (besides making bread crumbs for stuffing, etc.)

hacer buenas (o malas) migas fam. Tener una relación buena o mala con una persona.

The other dictionary said to "hit off" similar to the context above.

"hacer algo migas" also means to smash something into little pieces (smithereens, in English!)
