Teddy Bear Toast

  Shortest blog post ever, because this is not a recipe.  Just an idea I saw on Pinterest.  Toast.  Cream Cheese or Peanut Butter, or even Nutella.  Bananas.  Chocolate chips, raisins, or blueberries.  My kids had a blast eating these.  Thanks, Pinterest! Related: Teddy Bear Bread that you can make with the kiddos. Happy Thanksgiving!

Wednesday mornings, we have ballet.   There is a lot of rushing around to get out the door on time, me, frantic, sweating, begging/barking at my kids to get their shoes on, to eat their breakfast, to sit still while I brush their hair.  Inevitably, just as we are about to walk out the door,… Continue reading Blackberry Cream Cheese Bismark Muffins

Banana Crumb Cake

Introducing my new very favorite way to use up overripe bananas. Is this a banana bread or a banana cake?  Hard to say, but since it is baked in a 9×13 inch pan, and is topped with a delicious cinnamon streusel topping, we are going to call it a cake.

Apple Pie Scones

My favorite thing in the entire world is pie. My favorite kind of pie is homemade apple pie.  I will not eat store bought apple pie.  If I’m going to eat store bought pie, it has to be either strawberry-rhubarb, cherry, or pumpkin.  I realize this makes me sound like Sally Albright, but it is… Continue reading Apple Pie Scones
