Sunday Morning

Good Morning all!

What a beautiful day it has been so far, and I thought what better way to start it than with a batch of Banana Pancake Bites (provided by www.emilybites.com)! I recently discovered her wonderful recipe blog a week ago on Pinterest, and since then, I have already made at least three of her tasty recipes. 

Banana Pancake Bites

Ingredients:
1 cup Bisquick Heart Smart Pancake & Baking Mix
2/3 cup skim milk
½ cup reduced calorie breakfast syrup
1 large ripe banana, chopped into small pieces

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. I personally love Smart Balance's!

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the Bisquick Pancake mix, milk, and breakfast syrup. Pour batter evenly into each muffin cup. 

3. Sprinkle the chopped banana on to the tops of each muffin cup.  Place in the oven, and cook for about 12-15 minutes. 

4. Once finished, let muffins cool for about 5 minutes.  Enjoy with a small glass of skim milk!

These were SO good, and had just the right amount of sweetness and banana in each bite.  It did not take much effort to make them either, considering how delicious they were. I am definitely saving this for future lazy mornings! :)

Much to do today, and a friend's BBQ is schedule for this afternoon...love when I am able to say that.  Hello summer! Have yourselves a lovely Sunday!

End of Month Update!

Since I have had not much time blogging lately (forgive me please), I decided to do a quick update on some recent and future happenings.

30 days of Lists is almost here. :) and I am proud to say that I have been very good about being on top of my preparations for my 30days book before heading to Michigan for an important wedding! Yay for not being a horrible procrastinator. However, I still have yet to buy the dress that I plan on wearing to the wedding...;)

Here are a couple snapshots on what I decided to use for my Lists project:

{ I bought this book at Michaels for $1! Added a bit more to the front cover for fun. }

Oh, and remember in my last post when I said I would share my kitchen spice rack that Scott made for me before Valentine's day? Well, here it is!

{ The night he showed me what he made for me! }

{ The next weekend, we were able to put our spices in most of the bottles. I put little sticky tabs on the bottom to remind me of the names for each! }

Last but not least, our baby Baxley's first birthday was last week! So, for his birthday I made him some pup-cakes from this recipe I found here! The recipe is actually for a dog cake, but because he is a smaller dog I thought cupcake sized bites would be easier on his tummy! I made about 18, and have been giving them to him as snacks since. 

{ "Can I has more, pwease?" }

In two days, I will be driving back to Michigan for Scott's sister's wedding! I just recently purchased a 16MB SD card, so you can expect several photos from the event. ;)

Until then, have yourself a wonderful leap year!
