You know why?! I have the most amazing recipe to use those overripe bananas your kids won't touch with a ten foot pole. Here it is:
Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
1 Yellow cake mix
3 Bananas
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
Mix ingredients together completely. Add 1/2 bag Chocolate Chips. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Isn't that easy?! They are so very yummy. You can even get creative and add different things. For example, I was out of bananas, but I DID have some frozen mushy peaches with the skins removed from the summer - so I added those instead, put in a couple teaspoons of lemon zest, and fresh blackberries. Oh my! Oh my! They were DELICIOUS! You could do the same thing with a can of peaches (drained & put through the food processor of course). For an ultimate chocolate treat, use chocolate cake mix. That is my tween daughter's favorite!!
Like I've said before, don't pass up that inexpensive cake mix --- you never know when you'll have a hankerin' for muffins!
Happy cooking ... or baking!!

Where Did Last Week Go?!
I'm so sorry for not posting last week.
It's better to be truthful, so I have to admit that due to an unexpected influx of handmade tamales and an overabundance of freezer food. I cooked nary an evening all week long! I do believe our family has had our fill of tamales until Marissa's mother comes for another visit in six months. Oh the glory!!
So, here is the lesson in all the preparation and such: When you have a week where being a mother, much less a chef is anything but glamorous ... head to the freezer and reap the rewards of all your hard work!
Happy cooking (or reheating)!
