It Happened To Me Again!


I can't believe it happened to me again!  More brown bananas!  I certainly hope this is NOT a sign of things in my life turning bad and rotting.  The funny this is, I do not even eat bananas or things made with bananas very often because they are too sugary.  Yes, they taste good and I enjoy them, they just don't work out with my body being a Type 1.

So, today, I decided to bake some banana crumb muffins with my lovely bananas.  As I was making my muffins and brainstorming for this post, I thought I would toss out a "Funny Fact" about me. 

Are you ready for this one? 

I am sure by now, you have picked up on the fact that I absolutely love baking and it brings me such happiness.  Yes, I know, I am a total cheese ball!  Well, the "Funny Fact" that I am revealing about myself is that I have this pipe dream to one day own my own bakery.  I worked in a bakery for almost two years and loved it!  The drawback was total lack of sleep.  So, rather than a retail bakery, I would like to have a web based online bakery in which I would fill orders as they are placed.  I would likely sell cookies, muffins, tea breads, fun treats, seasonal items and so on.  I have the vision brewing in my mind and hopefully someday, I will be able to actually see this vision come together and become a reality.  I don't need to be like Mrs. Fields or anything to that magnitude.  I would just like to be able to bake and send it off for others to share and enjoy.  I figure it brings me happiness and delivers happiness to others which makes it a win-win opportunity.

Now, you know a little fact about me that I have not often shared.  For those of you who know me quite well...I guess it doesn't really surprise you does it? 

Have a wonderful weekend!  Enjoy your Halloween!  I hope to capture some fun pictures of my cute little witch to share with you next week.  Have fun and be safe!

What a great gift to be able to bake. I'm the worlds worst baker. I'm a pretty good cook, but baking takes too much patience and preciseness for me. I'm a little jealous! :-) I think your online idea sounds fabulous! I would be a very good customer!

I have loved to bake for as long as I can remember. Melanie, I am absolutely certain that if you just gave it a bit of practice, you would be a great baker. When I worked in the bakery, I was in my element and was so happy. I have been trying to bake more again lately, simply, because it makes my soul happy. It is very nice to know that I will have one customer for sure! Thanks, Melanie!

Munchie Mix for Monday

Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about.  Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change of plans.  Here is what I did t

Thankful Thursday - Snow Days

Image
I am 100% convinced that I must have brought the Michigan weather along with me when I moved south, here to Ohio.  I was under the impression that southern Ohio has a much more mild climate and less snow. Well, I have yet to see proof of this. The idea of less snow really excited me! We have had almost as much snow as back in my hometown!   I would love to see warm and sunny weather every single day.  Perhaps, to experience that type of tranquility, I will need to move to a beautiful Caribbean island and sell hot dogs or ice cream on the beach. This is a thought that passes through my mind no less than five times a day in the winter. Like I mentioned before, January and February are the toughest months for me.  It is almost as if old man winter casts a spell of the nasty blahs and sadness on me.  Some days just tend to be worse than others.  I am seriously considering hibernating next winter. It may pose a problem for me considering that I don't like to lie around and sleep.  I

To My Wonderful Mom...Happy Birthday!

Image
So, were you wondering if I disappeared from the blogging world abruptly last week?  I was feeling awful with each passing day that I did not have a post.  The week kind of slipped away from me and I headed home to Michigan for a visit over the weekend.  I have no excuses, just caught up in the craziness of my life.  I am back and will try not to disappear like that again...at least without some sort of warning. Today, I am dedicating my post to my incredible mom.  It is my mom's 70th birthday today!  I cannot believe my mom could possibly be 70 years old! I know that she has a hard time believing it herself. Time passes too quickly.  I wanted to write this post to share with you what a wonderful mom that I have been blessed with.  My mom and I have been through more things than I could even begin to share with you.  My mom has always been there for me regardless what the situation.  She has always encouraged me that I could do anything I set my mind to doing.  Whenever doubt s
