Fall Foods

I can't decide what I love most about fall. I love the colors, I love the scents, I love the fashion.  I think that most of all, I love the food. I feel the most at home in my kitchen when I am baking. Baking is no fun in the summer heat. 

This last week's fall recipe was Banana Nut Bread! I even made an extra loaf and brought it over to our new neighbors. 

1 cup butter

1.5 cups sugar

.5 cup honey (eyeball it)

4 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 3/4 cups flour

5 bananas, very ripe, size medium

1 1/4 cups walnuts, chopped

I have an awesome kitchenaide mixer than my parents bought me when I got married. I cream together the butter, sugar, and honey. Add salt, eggs, flour. Then when those are fully mixed, cut up and add bananas then the nuts. This makes 2 loaves of bread. Grease bread pans, bake for an hour- one hour and fifteen minutes at 325 degrees. Check by poking the bread in the middle and see if it comes out clean. 

I will be honest: I never follow a recipe. I have recipes, but mostly my food is always different because I am always playing with something. 

Enjoy!

Three Months Old

Three months old and there has been SO much change in our lives. Daddy started graduate school, we moved, mommy started working, and you are so different! You put consonants in front of your "ooohs." You have started squealing. You are now sleeping in your own bed most of the time (your pack n play,) you suck your thumb, you smile and laugh ALL the time. You even rolled over the other day! 

The day we got our keys. Don't worry, the grass is already much greener.

Your days usually consist of playing with Mommy.

This was taken right after you rolled over for the first time on the 25th. Both Mommy and Daddy got to see!

You, my love, are a HUGE CHUNK

You love to play and sing.

We have also started using cloth diapers part time. You are in between sizes, so we bought the size up and they are HUGE on you. But, you will grow into them. Thus far, they are no more difficult than disposable diapers. Maybe even less because the dirty diapers don't sit in the garbage, smelling. 

I would love to document more, but I am determined to enjoy every second with you, as it is all going SO fast. There is not enough time in the day!

We love you Buggie Boo!
