Got Bananas......

I don't know why I buy bananas at Costco.  There are always so many left over, and once they go the slightest bit brown, no one will eat them!  It's a good thing I have a great Banana Bread Recipe...thanks to Martha Stewart!  I made Banana Bread, Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake and Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.  The best thing about this recipe is that it freezes amazingly!  I put half of the bread and cake in freezer bags for a later time.

Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (I use 3-4 bananas)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (I use light sour cream....I think this is the secret ingredient!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

*Cream butter and sugar together.  Add eggs.  Mix in the remaining dry ingredients.  Add sour cream and bananas.  Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.  

Missing Tooth!

The tooth is truly missing....not sure if he swallowed it.  Considering how often he has been wiggling this thing, I am shocked he did not notice it when it fell out.  I hate how one tooth missing can make them go from looking like a "little kid" to "big kid"!  My baby will be toothless in no time!

So the entire year flew by......

Well, blogging is obviously not my cup of tea!  I am almost embarassed I have one up and running.  I have decided to change my blog a little bit.  I am going to combine my love for writing, cooking and managing this crazy family, as well as our midwest adventure!  Hopefully, it will inspire me to write more often.
