Our Family's Favorite Banana Bread Recipe

I found the original recipe on Allrecipes.com. I have altered it a little bit, but the basic recipe is a good foundation to start with.

Our Family's Banana Banana Bread Recipe

Adapted from Shelley Albeluhn's Banana Banana Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas(or as many bananas as you have in your kitchen. We usually use 6.)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor

Granulated sugar to sprinkle on top of muffins

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Put liners into muffin pan.
2.	In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to combine. The batter will be moist. Pour batter into muffin pan.
3.	Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle granulated sugar on muffin tops after 20 minutes of cooking. Muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted into center and comes out clean. Let muffins cool in pan for 10 minutes. What are your family's favorite recipes? Happy baking everyone!

"Hers-Day" Review and Giveaway!

My little peanut has be screaming since the minute she woke up. Poor baby is teething and miserable! I totally get it, but Mommy needs a break. Today I need to take a few minutes for myself, cuz it's gonna be a LOONG day. So as the "princess" sleeps, I am going to take a scream-free shower. This is what I use to spoil myself a little. I love this stuff! It has a mild and fresh scent and leaves my skin silky smooth. It lathers up nicely and is easy to shave with. I have used this since high school. Sometimes the smell helps me forget for a few minutes that I am a 30-something with kids (that is until someone knocks at the door to tell on his brother!). For my second giveaway, I would like share Neutrogena Rain Bath with one of my readers. Let's pretend we are back in high school together! :) &amp;lt;a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js"&amp;gt;You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway&amp;lt;/a&amp...

Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear. I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic. I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging. So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore. The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs. Some are basic and others are WILD. I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color). For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes. You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet! Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer. 1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover . 2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish ...

Things that change once you have kids

1. Sleep- the amount you can survive without and how much you miss it. 2. Walks- once a relaxing past time, now is focused on getting everyone around the block without getting hit by a car or any other injuries. 3. Carnivals- I used to LOVE going to our town's festival during the summer. But I swear I will NEVER let my kid go on that Zipper ride. Too much upside down and WAY too creaky (did I mention that it was my Favorite growing up?) 4. Airplane rides- they just get me nervous. Next time we fly I am taking a Valium. What has changed for you since having the kids? Sorry this is not my typical Tipsy Tuesday post. If you must know, I was drinking Jack Daniels and Coke Zero this weekend. It seemed like a good "hurricane" cocktail. :)
