What did you get?

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins!!

Have you ever heard of these?  They're amazing!!  Bananas, chocolate chips, and warm muffins - what's not to love?

I'm not a huge banana fan, myself.  I get the occasional craving, but in general, I stick with berries and nuts.

I do, however love chocolate!  I've only found one mix of chocolate and bananas I've liked (we all love those, don't we?) but this is a good second.

To Ken, I like bananas a ton, so it's really saying something that he likes these muffins more than me.  He loves obsesses over adores them - go figure!

For those who may want to try this, here's a quick recipe.  It's super easy to make from scratch, and takes about 35 mins total.

Basics

~ Prep time: 15 mins

~ Cook time: 18 - 20 mins

~ Oven temp: 350 F

~Makes 12 regular sized muffins

Ingredients

~ 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour

~ 1 1/2 Tsp baking soda

~ 3 TBsp sugar

(we recommend raw cane sugar for the best flavor)

~ 1/4 Tsp salt

~ 1 LG egg

~ 3 TBsp buttermilk

(you can substitute 3 tbsp regular milk and 1/4 tbsp lemon juice if need be)

~ 1/2 Cup (1 Stick) butter, melted

~ 2-3 ripe bananas, mashed

~ 1/2 Cup chocolate chips

--For the bananas: if they are large, it's best to use 2, otherwise it will be a very strong banana taste.  They should be pretty ripe - blackening, like ones you'd use for banana bread.

--For the chocolate chips: you can always add more if you'd like, depending on how chocolaty you want the muffins.
       **Be sure to stir and mix in the melted butter before you add the chocolate chips, otherwise half your chocolate will melt into the batter!

Directions

1) Pre-heat oven to 350 F.

2) In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking soda.  Mix together lightly.

3) Melt the butter.

4) Add egg, butter, and buttermilk to the flour mixture.

5) Add bananas and mix together.

6) Coat muffin pan cups in butter/non-stick spray, or line with paper muffin cups.

7) Add chocolate chips.

8) Place in middle rack in pre-heated oven, and cook for 18 mins

(20 mins for cold oven).

Once they're fully cooked, remove from pan and place on cooling rack or serving tray.  

Serve, and enjoy!! 

Summertime Crickets

Hi everybody!  Rose here.  Today's post will be short, but I wanted to give you guys an update, as I've been getting questions about when we'll be more active again.

I haven't blogged in a few weeks, and I know that lately, my posts have been sporadic and far fewer than normal.  For those who are still following us, thank you so much!!  Your support is so awesome, and very much appreciated.

We are planning on getting back into blogging more frequently over the next few months.

This year has been beyond crazy, and the Spring/Summer handed us some huge life changes, so our focus went to taking care of our personal life for a while.  Now that things are settling down, we're looking forward to getting back to blogging!

We hope you all are doing fantastic, and enjoying the winding down of Summer.  Thanks again for your support! :D

Ciao for now,

~Rose

Rose's Hearty Minestrone!

Hey everybody!  Rose here, and today, we're sharing our awesome Hearty Minestrone recipe!  We love soups in our house- they last a long time, are relatively inexpensive, and are fun to make.  Minestrone especially, because we put tons o veggies! :D

We haven't been able to find a recipe we like, so like many others before us, we've developed our own.  It's probably closer to a "stew" but that's ok- we love stew too!

A lot of our cooking is done without measuring everything, so while I'll put the number of each ingredient the recipe calls for, our pictures won't be exactly the same amounts.  We're also making double what the recipe calls for (freezing half for next week) so our proportions will seem really big, if you're going off the recipe.

Anywho, please feel free to check out our recipe, use it, copy it, modify it to fit your tastes, whatever, and just have fun! :D
