B with B - banana bread

See these?

We bought these almost a week ago and Breanna has refused to eat even one to ensure she got to make her banana bread today. For anyone who has ever been around Bre and bananas knows, that if you let her, she will eat an entire bunch in one day! So I am sure this was a struggle for her not to eat a single one (her choice).

For our recipe for banana bread click here.

Breanna's favorite part of making banana bread is preparing the bananas. We place the trash can right next to her and let her go to town on peeling, breaking them apart, and finally mashing them. Today we decided to make a double batch so her mashing eventually turned into 'splashing' banana goo all over everything (she was a bit excited).

 I must remember to turn the television off, the minute the theme song for Fairly Odd Parents started she was gone!

Putting the banana bread dough in the oven...

Done!!! And we love that this bread is good warm or cold!

B with B - 01/19/2013

While I may 'slack' on my blogging, I try my darnest not to slack at spending each Saturday cooking a goodie with Breanna. Most of the time Breanna requests cooking pumpkin bread, and to be honest more times than not that is what we make, which to my excuse (about blogging) is the reason why I haven't posted before.

Today's creation will involve these little cutties and our recipe for sugar cookies can be found here!

Bre made sure to remind me to take some pictures of her cooking...she is too funny! But I love that she is engaging in actual conversations, and they actually make sense!

Bre's making sure the butter and sugar are mixed well. I am proud to say, she has mastered the mixer, always starting on the lowest setting and gradually turning it up at the right time (with no prompts)!

 Everyone in our family knows, we clean up as we go! 

Bre had her first experience of 'flying' flour, she was not impressed, actually she was mortified!

Our dough, now for it to refridgerate for an hour, then we can roll it out and try our new cookie cutters!

Finally, our hour is up and it's time to roll, cut, bake, and cool!

Breanna practices her rolling skills (on the counter) as I get everything we need out.

 Time to use the cookie cutters!!!

 

The loot!!! Minus a few 'over cooked' little ones! Now to cool and make some frosting!
