Banana Crumb Muffin

Well, I'm so happy to say that the muffins were a success!
I took this picture before they all disappeared.


This one is of one of our guests,Heidi, she was saying "Warm banana muffins."
No, it's not your eye... it's blurry. My hand shook because I was nervous and perhaps a bit off balance on account of my swollen head...This compliment was too good not to tell you.
Heidi burst in the lobby and said:
"You guys are doing a killing with these muffins, my girls are telling me that I have to try these, if I don't I will regret it for the rest of my life."
That was enough to swell my head and make me curious as to how these things taste.
So I secretly hoped they'd get their fill and still have left over and God must have listened to me... cause I got to taste one and it was surprisingly awesome.


Even my brother ate it and wanted more
and that's cause fruit-made stuff like that are
not his idea of something nice to eat. He said it's the
crunchy top that makes it sooooo good.
He was so inspired by it he drew this picture=>



I can't believe how easy they are to make...You have got to try these! The link to the recipe is below on the previous entry.
Or if you want you can stop by the hotel on Sunday morning and get one...LOL...I think I just might be making another batch then.

Long Time No See

So much has happened since my last blog...sad times, happy times, bored times, stressed times...I'm starting to realize that I need more fun times, life is way too short. Thing is my idea of FUN has changed with time. Right now just having time to paint my nails and actually letting it dry without getting polished smeared or toes stepped on by my active toddler would be fun. At this point my expectations of what categorizes fun is very low.

There just aren't enough hours in the day and weekends go by too fast, by the time it ends and the work week begins I feel as though I would have been better off working the weekend... Sad I know.

Current Life necessity:
Hobby that:
  • Doesn't require 100% attention for a long period of time(toddler may be present)
  • Can be done by myself or with little helping hands (when they're present)
  • instant esteem builder
  • productive
  • not messy
  • Can be done both during the day and night so that it can fit in with "when I have time"
Any thoughts?

Anyways I'm about to finish cleaning up this messy kitchen o mine and prepare for an early bake...

Menu:

Reason: Complimentary Treat for my guests...Ok all our guest are special but these ones have booked out ALL our rooms and are staying for a week...so a small token shouldn't hurt. (Every now and then I do something spontaneous...I know consistency is good, but I honestly don't have time to do this for everyone.)
Downer: I need to have these ready and out the door by 6AM cause I understand they are early risers.
Upper: Ready in 35min

Wish me luck.
