Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Hello all!

If you are one to check in here every once in a while, you’ve probably noticed that it has been veeerrryyy quiet for a veeerrryyy long time. I apologize for that. Unfortunately, it is going to remain this quiet for now. Regretfully, I’m going to have to stop this little blogging hobby of mine, due to lack of time and various personal reasons. I do hope, at some point I will be able to start up again. Of course, I will leave all of the existing recipes online for you to have at your disposal.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Since I didn’t want to just leave you all empty-handed, here is one last recipe to try out…something sweet, of course! 🙂 These muffins are the perfect item to bring along to kids birthday parties or potlucks. If your kids don’t mind, some chopped up walnuts are a great addition.

Before I go, I want to thank all of those that have been following my posts and trying out the recipes. I’ve appreciated all of your comments more than you can know. Continue to have fun cooking and I’ll just say, goodbye for now. 🙂

Since it’s been raining here a lot lately, we decided to have a family movie day this week. I’ve been promising Arik this for a while now, so I was happy to finally get around to it. He picked out Ratatouille to watch, I popped popcorn, we stretched out on the couch and spent the [read more]

Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti pie is a fairly new idea to me…I know, I’ve been living under a rock. My mom-in-law introduced me to it, when she made it for us on our last visit home about a year ago. As soon as I saw how much Arik enjoyed it, I knew it needed a spot in the [read more]

Ham and Broccoli Pasta Bake

I am a huge fan of casseroles. They’re almost always tasty, they’re easy to make, and best of all…you usually have enough left-overs for a second day. And this casserole is no exception. You probably already have most of these ingredients in your pantry so there’s not much shopping to do. If your kids aren’t [read more]

Hazelnut Chocolate Milk

Arik is a huge fan of all things that can be consumed through a straw. That is why we frequently have this smoothie for breakfast or have various “milkshakes” such as a banana milk, this strawberry milk or this week, we tried something new, and had this hazelnut milk…with chocolate, of course. This milk is [read more]

I’m still working on the non-sleeping child part, but all of the colds are gone and we are back to healthy. When the whole family all of a sudden came down with [read more]

Happy New Year!! Did you all have nice holidays? It’s been pretty hectic around here these last few weeks, which is also the reason the blog has been so quiet. Despite the hecticness, we’ve had an amazing holiday. We met up with my mom-in-law in Paris and also went to Disneyland Paris. Arik preferred the [read more]

Christmas Tree Egg In a Hole

Egg in a Hole is something we eat quite often in our family, since it is so easy to make and delicious to eat. This christmas tree version though, is something new I tried and Arik absolutely loved it. He almost wanted to just keep the tree and not eat it…almost! 🙂 We will definitely [read more]
