Thank you to Jayma of Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen for selecting this weeks recipe, even though I found them to be dry, was disappointed that they were so short, and fought with white chocolate in order to dip them (but I think they look really cute!).

The boys are really missing Jason these days…..so I thought I would post some pictures of him and the boys and we can look at them together later today.

Oh….My….Goodness!!!!
So while twittering the other day the lovely Tracy tweeted about her Cheesecake Ice Cream…and that peaked my interest! After checking the recipe she posted here, and the fridge for ingredients, I realized I had just enough to make a half batch of the ice cream. I am really happy that I didn’t have enough to make a full batch – it is so yummy I almost can’t stop eating it! I decided to add some crushed Oreos and make it Oreo Cheesecake Ice Cream.
But it didn’t end there….I was also doing some searching for brownies thinking I would make it a brownie sundae kind of Sunday….and found these. Laurie posted these a long time ago….but I had never seen them, which is probably a good thing! Go check out her post for the recipe….I only did a half a recipe and baked it in a 9x13 pan….can’t imagine what a whole recipe would make! They are super rich (just like Laurie says) and you totally need a HUGE glass of milk with these. Or a couple of big scoops of Oreo Cheesecake Ice Cream!! Yum, Yum!

I cannot believe that my Jakob is going to school! At 4 1/2 he is still such little man, but such a BIG boy. I look at him and it seems like yesterday that he was just a baby. I look at Aiden and I can remember Jakob at that age. Where, oh where did the time go? When did he become this independent little monster who barely looks back to see if I am leaving? Who says that I can go now, that he is fine? On the other hand, do I really want to be the parent with the kid melting down on the floor, weeping and wailing for his mother? No, thanks! I’m good. But I wouldn’t have minded if he’d hugged me a little longer, wanted me to stay another minute or two….
I know that he will have a wonderful day getting to know the routine, his teachers, and making all kinds of new friends. And he was also very proud to be going with a blanket made by Mama, and his new Transformers lunch box! Very cute.
Aiden and I are hanging out in a very quiet house….Aiden is walking around looking for him mumbling “where is he?” as if they are playing hide n’ seek! Going to be an adjustment for us all.
Here are some pics of the new School Boy! He is so proud of himself!
At school having breakfast…
Hope everyone else has a good first day of school…whenever that may be!

I am a bad baker. I do not own a Bundt pan. And to be honest when I hear the word Bundt, all I can think of is that HILARIOUS scene in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". You know the one where the mother cannot for the life of her pronounce "Bundt"...and then puts a plant in the middle of the Bundt to fill the hole! LOL - I LOVE that movie! Kills me every time.
Back the the Banana Cake! Since I don’t have a Bundt pan I tweeted the question “can I do this in a couple of loaf pans?” And luckily Nancy was on and advised me that the full recipe would fit into the three 8x3 smaller foil loaf pans that I had. But to be careful that I didn’t fill them too full as hers had overflowed when she made hers! It fit perfectly….rose just to the top of the pans, browned nicely and tasted fantastic! The boys gobbled one loaf up, I gave one loaf to my amazing neighbours, and the other one got wrapped tightly and is waiting in the freezer…probably not for long!
As I have mentioned before, I always have bananas on hand. I wont eat one if you paid me, but put it in a banana bread/cake and I am all over it. Jakob and Aiden eat them daily….they are a staple in our house! But sometimes we buy too many and they end up frozen waiting for enough frozen brown bananas to bake.
Oh….wait. I have to mention this. My banana cake didn’t get made until late on Sunday night, so as the boys were winding down I had mixed up the batter and put it into the oven just before putting them to bed. So since it needed to bake for 40 – 50 minutes I figured that they would both be asleep and could enjoy it for breakfast. So at 9 pm when the timer went off telling me that it was done, you can imagine my surprise when Jakob came around the corner asking if he could have some. But since he should have already been asleep and the banana cake was going to be super hot and need to cool, I told him he would have to wait til the morning. He shrugged his shoulders and toddled off back to bed! Too cute!
I apologize for this post being late – blogger was giving me some grief. But I think I have found a way to work it all out – thanks to Elle!
And be sure to check out all the other TWDr’s and their versions of this moist, dense, flavourful Banana Cake!
Also thank you to the Food Librarian for choosing this weeks recipe – we will be making this again! For sure!
