Banana crumb (mini) muffins.

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

I’ve made these before and I’ll make them again. Theses are top notch homemade banana crumb muffins with an emphasis on the CRUMB! Love that stuff. Crunchy sugary goodness atop of a “somewhat” healthy moist cake, YES! I said I’ve made these before and the funny thing about that is both times I had to pull the bananas out of the trash because about 10 minutes before I made the muffins J thought to herself, oh these bananas are all black (we just got back from the store with brand new fresh ones) toss em. Not knowing that I had been eying those last three super ripe nanas for the past couple days. So just like the last time I yelled out “Why on earth would you throw out those perfectly good bananas!?!”. So I snagged them out of the trashcan outside (they were on the very top) and proceeded to blend them up to show how lovely those trashed bananas became blended into a wonderfully smelling banana puree. Now Z has been sick the past few days and when I made her smell the wonderful banana puree she proceeded to explain to me how “you know when your sick and things that smell good normally now make you want to puke when you smell them…”. Not good, but the muffins came out perfect, J’s words not mine. Z had no problem with the cooked muffins, and we all lived happily every after. The end.

Turkey burger with a sweet ginger sauce that could make a turd taste good!

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Okay so that title is a little gross but I stand by it. This is my second time making these awesome burgers. The first time J said they were good but only ate 3/4 of one, little Z ate some too. I knew J was being honest and that it was probably just too late at night (a lot of snacking took place while waiting for dinner). So this time I mentioned having the burgers again and she was like sure, not a very convincing one at that either. I realized I was out of spinach after I had already committed to the burgers but I was craving the sauce and a turkey burger (low calorie but filling meal) so I went for it anyway. I’m not sure if taking out the spinach made it better for J or if it was that we actually ate at a decent hour but she had two burgers, not one but two, count em, one two. She was raving about the sauce. One of my favorite sauces for sure.
