Banana Bread Recipe – On Video

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

I know that Christmas is past, but I took these pictures specifically to use on my blog and I’m going to use them!

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.

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.
