Life with four kids is sure busy busy! I decided that this weekend I just needed some down time (well, besides church and soccer for the kids). I tried not to make plans so we could just chill out, spring clean a bit, and rest!
Not sure why but I have had the most wicked sweets craving ever. I decided to bake some stuff this weekend, cause my bananas were going bad (funny enough, I never did end up using my bananas), and I came across this recipe and remembered I wanted to try it. Hope you are having a sweet weekend too (and if not, go try this recipe and you will be).
