dEElicious banana muffins.

I was all ready to make chocolate chip banana bread last night when I happened to read my friend’s blog in which she happened to post about banana muffins. I said to myself, What the heck!, and decided to give them a try. Final verdict: They are beyond incredible. Beyond. They are amazingly moist and delicious and wonderful.

You can find the recipe here at: a pretty a day.
I used 4 bananas instead of three and I added chocolate chips for an extra goodness that can’t be beat.

It all starts with a penny.

This is my awesome cousin Peggy holding the new book:
which she is published in!

Congrats, Peg!!

I have not personally gotten a hold of my copy yet, but I can’t wait. This is so my kind of book. I am always looking for ways to be thrifty. Like scanning the streets on September 1st for old furniture people are literally throwing away– you know, stuff like that. I hope the Brookline Booksmith carries this book. In fact, I’m going to email my buddy Paul over there and see what the dealio is. If they don’t have it yet they better start ordering!!

“Thrift—the word derives from thrive. Be Thrifty—it’s how to thrive, and feel good and virtuous about it, too.”

Happy Bday MEH!

Happy Birthday to a friend nearest and dearest to my heart. Love you Maureen Elizabeth. Miss you TONS. Hope your day was filled with happiness and wet kisses from Scout!! Wishing so badly I could be celebrating with you. I’m having a bevy for you tonight… might make it two! Cheers to 25! ♥♥♥
