This is a simple banana bread recipe. It’s very forgiving if you don’t have all the ingredients just right so it’s great to make with kids. A pan of this barely lasts a day at my house. We’ll show you how to make it in this video:
Christmas Goodies
January 13, 2010 By 3 Comments
I know that Christmas is past, but I took these pictures specifically to use on my blog and I’m going to use them!
It’s been 3 years now that my husband and I have made these and handed them out at Christmas. The kids are actually able to help now and instead of just trying to help and everything takes 3 times as long. [Read more...]
Cooking Bacon in the Oven

Here I go talking about bacon again. I can’t help it. I heard another lady rave about how nice it is to cook bacon in the oven. I finally did it. As you will hear in the video I may never fry it again.
Watch the 42 second to find out how I did it:
Ode to No Bakes

No Bake Cookies how I love thee!
Let me sit and count the ways.
You satisfy my chocolate cravings.
I shall eat you all my days.
Though you’re here and gone so quickly
You bring such joy to my face.
And one thing I’d rather not voice -
The way you add to my hips space.
Your dark mix of milk and cocoa
Bubbling oh so prettily.
Add to that the oats and PB
You are quite a joy to see.
It matters not if you stay gooey.
I’ll just eat you with a spoon.
Just wait quiet for a minute
Till my kids have left the room.
—————————————
Yes, I’m a chocoholic and a nut. 
Made these last night at 10:00pm after the munchkins were in bed. I wanted to lick the pan myself!
They will be gone by tomorrow night. But fondly remembered.

How To Make Cookies in Less Than 10 Minutes
October 31, 2008 By 7 Comments
I’m trying to be more thrifty/frugal and really watch what I spend the grocery allotment for. Same here as everywhere.
One of the things I’ve been doing is not buying candy. I used to get it from the cheap “scratch and dent” store – not from the regular grocery store. I know there are “Candy Nazi’s” out there, but we eat candy here. Please don’t tell the candy police.
Still I think that I can get ingredients from that same cheap store and make healthier desserts. If there is such a thing as healthy desserts. I’m sure there is because if I’m happy my kids will be healthier – kidding!
Plus, they have cake and brownie mixes for one dollar. One dollar for a whole 13 x 9 pan full. So get baking, Jendi!
You can do the same with a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe.
It’s not gourmet, but it’s good!
P.S. If you want fluffy drop cookies mix your dry ingredients separate. My cookies just disappear fast in this house and my kids don’t care if they are fluffy.
So, do you bake?
