Banana Nut Bread

With the weather being cool, it is the perfect time for baking with the windows open!   I cranked up my music and danced around the kitchen while I whipped up the batter.  Usually it is a pretty good arm workout if you don’t use your Kitchen Aid blender, so I opted to put a little elbow grease into it, stirring to the beat of the music.  Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there too to help mix…especially when you are blending the sugar and butter together….it is much faster (and more fun) if you use your hands. 

Wedding Soup

There are moments that can remind you what life is all about…sometimes big and sometimes small.  Last weekend was one of those bigger moments, my sister’s wedding.  The amount of love and joy surrounding the weekend was very special to be a part of.  Two families coming together to create a day that will always be remembered.  From the week of prep leading up to the festivities to the kick-off with rehearsal to the main event and reliving stories the next morning at breakfast, lots of great memories were made.
