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.

Kitchens of Interest

I started looking through the House Beautiful website yesterday. Because I love looking at interior design but really mostly because I was procrastinating on my work. I came across some of the most beautiful kitchens. I am such a sucker for kitchens. I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent decorating my own kitchen and I only live in an apartment! Here are some of my favorites. They are all so gorgeous:

Dream Pot.

How much do you want me to win this gorgeous Le Creuset dutch oven?
I realize I am over obsessing on the dutch oven but I don’t care.
I want this to be mine.
And since I like you, I’ll give you the link to enter to win it too.
You’re welcome.

Kitchen fun.

I have been obsessed with accessorizing my kitchen lately. There are just so many adorable items to be had! And practical items too, of course. I’m especially interested in getting a dutch oven, only right now I simply don’t have the funds! Recently, while in NY, I discovered Sur la Table. Oh heavens. I think I could spend the night in that store. A nice little sleepover with all the cookware.
As far as accessories go, I’ve been adding small touches here and there with items from anthropologie. I’ve also found some really cute things at Marshalls/Home Goods. What a great store that Marshalls is.

For Christmas Meg wanted to give me this:


Only anthropologie messed up the order and this came instead:


It’s fun, except for I already have this:

You like, right? Me too.

So I returned the mix-up butterdish and got myself the cutest little measuring cups I ever did see:


Did you follow me through all that? Oh good. I hoped you would. And do you like the measuring cups?? I had a feeling you might like those too. If you come visit me, I’ll make you a delicious dinner and maybe use the measuring cups. OR maybe we could bake cookies and then we would definitely use the measuring cups. Just let me know when you’re coming. I’ll be ready.
