happiest monday! 

yay new week...yay april.....

so i was popping around flickr last night and saw our friend robin's

newest image.

omgoodness.  you have to check it out!!

gooey goodness for sure!

like i mean gooey...

so i had to make a loaf for us...actually 2...

and guess what... we are down to half a loaf.

that's why it's hard to justify the time spent baking.

they inhale it!  :)

but it was so good....and not too unhealthy.

here's the recipe...

whole wheat banana bread

1/2 cup margarine

1 c sugar ( i used splenda)

2 eggs

3 medium bananas

1 c flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soada

1 c whole wheat flour

1/3 c hot water

1/2 c walnuts

melt butter & blend in the sugar.  mix in the beaten eggs and the mashed bananas, blending til smooth.  sift the flour with the salt and soda.  stir in the whole wheat flour.  add the dry ingredients, alternating with the hot water.  stir in the chopped nuts.  (i used chocolate chips instead)

turn into a greased loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

oh my pg,

what a day.... so excited about our little convo this afternoon.  i can't wait to spill the news here.

so many blessings and dreams coming true.  :)

i really believe in the power of our dreams. 

they are mighty powerful.....

sigh.....
