yummy treat

Well I've half attempted to take my kids school portraits several times now, 

and it's never planned...it usually happens after I've finished a session,

since I have everything set up.  

And tho I would like to pick out cute outfits and such, it just doesn't seem to happen.  

Anyway, I gave it one more attempt tonight, yes, after a session, 

and my kids were in the clothes that they had worn all day.  

But in the end, I think these are really cute and will work just perfectly!

on another note,

I had a bunch of banana's that were extremely ripe, 

and usually what I do, is throw them into the freezer, 

with the yummy thought of making banana bread

...but they just sit, and sit in the freezer.  

So anyway, this morning, I decided to just attempt to make some banana bread.  

I looked through our church cookbook.  

The first recipe I saw called for milk, and we were out. 

so I found another recipe for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins,

that did not call for milk,

but I didn't have any muffin tin liners, and I only had one loaf pan 

(probably could have used three...and I didn't want to be baking all day), 

so I decided to put the batter into a 9x13 glass pan.

And it turned out perfectly...yes, I admit, I am not so good in the kitchen.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

4 very ripe bananas (I used all 6 that I had!)

2 1/2 cup flour

2 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

2/3 cup chocolate chips

Combine dry ingredients. Set aside. Combine oil, eggs and bananas. 

Add dry ingredients. Don't overmix! Fold in chocolate chips. 

Pour into muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350.

*I used a 9x13 pan and baked for about 45 minutes.

Remember how I mentioned that I'm not so great in the kitchen,

well I brought this pan of Banana Bread/Cake

over to a friends house today, and when she cut into it

we discovered I had baked my spoon right in it, how embarrassing!
