Pumpkin muffins and potato wedges!

My father recently had hernia surgery, so on Friday I went down to my parents to spend the day with him keeping him company. While I was there my sister told me to make healthy muffins and supplied me with pumpkin, organic honey, and coconut oil. I went immediately to my trusty ole Pinterest to see what I could find and created these yummy treats! 
 I used the recepie from this lovely blog http://www.hungryhealthygirl.com/2012/10/16/thebesthealthypumpkinmuffins/

Made with whole wheat flour they are pretty solid and heavy but still pretty dang yummy!!

Later that night I helped my mother with dinner, found another awesome recepie on Pinterest for potato wedges from this blog

They were super tastey! And went well with the burgers my mom made 


Well that's all for now! Happy baking/cooking!!!

Baking adventures with bananas, and wine!

Baking, is the one thing in this world I feel like I am really and truly good at. And older woman told me about these cookies she used to eat when she was little and gave me the recipe. I made them last night and today at work she just came in and told me "Those cookies brought back so many childhood memories, I felt like I was 10 years old again" really and truly made my day. Amazing how a little thing like a cookie can mean so much. 


On that note. Here are the cookies!



They are made with banana, oatmeal, and m&ms. They are SUPER tastey, soft and amazing. 

Along with that I made banana walnut muffins 

These were also super easy and delicious. Even the doctor next door said they are good! 

The other night I also made banana bread 

It came out so good! Soft gooey crust with a moist flavorful center. I do have to say I am quite proud of my banana adventures this week. 
Why all the bananas you ask? Well I had gotten on to a smoothie/juicing kick two weeks ago and bought a ton of fruit and veggies. Well, of course I forgot about the bananas and there I was with 10 brown bananas. So I figured the only logical thing to do was to bake them! 

And of course, while you bake, you need to drink! Found a copy cat recepie for the blackberry sangria from carrabbas and it was amazing! 
My inner Julia child coming out. 

I couldn't find the blackberry so I substituted it for blueberry and I add a splash of sprite (the bar tender at carrabbas told me that secret) it is killer! 

Happy baking everyone!!!
