I was supposed to have a busy day today, running back and forth between ballet class and the library, and the grocery store. Plans were thwarted, however (of course after I set an early alarm and got up and got three kids ready to leave- because, doesn’t it always go that way?) by a sick five… Continue reading Petite Banana Bread Scones with Butter Brown Sugar Glaze
I don’t like to admit this anyplace where my husband can read it, but I have a real, serious, (read: expensive) Starbucks addiction. I go there on the daily. To the point that when we pull up into the drive through, my kids start hollering requests from the back seat for “pink do-duts,” “banilla bean scones,”… Continue reading Starbucks Iced Lemon Pound Cake

Chocolate and banana bread aren’t two things that I would have thought would be too terribly great together,… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Bread
