Delicious

On the 4th I went to the Killebrew's in Brandon (Jerry's parents) to have BBQ Ribs and I decided to make mini fruit pizza's. I haven't had these in so long and they are so delicious I wanted to keep eating them:)

I found the recipe here but instead of making cookie dough I bought ready to bake cookie dough. The fruit I used was raspberry's, strawberry's, and blueberry's. I kept the red and blue theme:)

Banana Mania

So I will let you know a lil secret:) I'm not much of a cook but I love baking. So for the past few weeks I have been baking like crazy. When I was younger my grandma Nita taught me all the family recipes and her desserts were always wanting you coming back for more. The good side was they were all amazing but she used crazy amounts of butter (still delicious but super fattening). Anyway I decided to make her famous Banana Bread.

She would make several of these for the holidays and hand them out to family, neighbors, and friends. If you would like to try it out here is the recipe.

Nita's Banana Bread

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (room temp.)
2 eggs
3 bananas (semi old aka sorta mushy)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a bread pan and dust with flour. Tap out excess. In a mixing bowl combine the sugar, butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together. Then add the bananas and mix. Put in the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes until its done.

One thing to keep in mind is the mix will be thick until the bananas are added.

The Weekend!

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend! Here are a few iPhone pics of mine:) It was filled with unpacking, ceramic painting, making a carrot cake (recipe) it was super sweet but delicious, Italian, the fresh market, working on a special Birthday gift, and driving.

What did you do this weekend?
