Bake and Share Monday ~Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins~

I think Dave might have felt a bit like the Little Red Hen this week
you know the story...
no one wants to help with the muffins
they only want to eat the muffins

but I guess wanting to veg in front of the TV watching Arthur
is understandable after a hard morning of swimming lessons

I think it was the aroma drifting from the oven that finally got them in the kitchen
boy were they yummy!
thanks babe, breakfast is going to be sweet tomorrow

Happy Monday!

Bake and Share Monday ~Brownies~

...from a box...

what can I say

today was pretty much nonstop 

grocery shopping, swimming, tumbling, fertilizing the lawn and Dave packing for a trip out of town:(

so we were a little lacking in the creativity department

but they got to stir and mix and lick the bowl

all the important things right???

and they made them with Daddy

{while I was at Target...alone...bad me!!:) }

and if I have to have brownies from a box it has to be these...

I LOVE Ghirardelli 

I hope your Monday was a little less hectic and filled with deliciousness

with or without the box

Happy Monday!

Bake and Share Monday ~Janey's Rainbow Cake~

Well...it's Monday

time to Bake and Share!

Today Riley and I made a rainbow cake for Janey's half birthday.
Not this rainbow cake.
{maybe we will try that one as a farewell to summer treat???}
Per Janey's wishes, ours just had a rainbow on the top. :)
We got the recipe from this book.
It's great for when you want to add a little homemade taste to a cake mix.

Riley was a great little baker today.
She did almost every step on her own and the finishing touches
came straight from that wonderful imagination of hers!
It was quite a beauty and it was equally delicious.

Happy Monday

Bake and Share Monday ~Patriotic Pops~

Well...it's Monday...

...we made these on Sunday...

but we'll still share!:)

A Fourth of July celebration wouldn't be complete without a 

festive dessert!

So we made Patriotic Pops

They were super easy.

The hardest part was waiting for each layer to freeze!

{and making sure you have enough room in your freezer for those TALL sticks}

Happy Monday!

Bake and Share Monday ~Mini Smores~

Well....it's' Monday

time to bake and share!

This week we got our inspiration from my new bloggy friend, Sloan.
She made these little American Girl inspired mini-smores that I just knew my girls would love.
And then, as luck would have it,
Saturday the mailman brought us our new A.G. magazine (thanks Mimi and Poppy!).

These little yummies were so quick and easy to whip up.
And with a trip to the pool today filling our house with lots of
"is it time to go yet????"
this was the perfect bake and share for us today
Give them a try
I KNOW you will love them too.

Happy Monday!

Bake and Share Monday ~Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies~

Well it is Monday again

Time to bake and share something delicious

We better start finding some low-fat, low-sugar recipes or we may need to start a 

"Walk Around the Block Ten Times Tuesday"!! :)

We borrowed yet another recipe from Pioneer Woman and she has yet to steer us wrong!

This week Dave and the girls made  Malted Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies.

If you love a thin crispy cookie like I do, then this is one for you!

we used mini chocolate chips instead, but either would be yummy!

{to Jodi our cookie recipient...I promise this was AFTER the cookies were done!!}

Enjoy your Monday
