Banana Bread, Muffin Top

I bought bananas a while back for a camping trip I took for my Advanced Scuba certification, but they were too green for the longest time so I hadn't eaten them. And I decided banana bread would be the perfect idea for these lonely bananas! [Well actually I had to buy new bananas... because I froze the others in hopes to use them in a smoothie, but they wouldn't peel after being frozen, so i put them back in the fridge... let's just say I know a sure fire way to kill a banana haha]


Well there's my B-E-A-UTIFUL loaf of banana bread :) It kinda muffin topped over the sides, but cooked pretty nicely and tastes delicious!
------------------------
I made two more a few days after this one, and they didn't muffin top because I used the same recipe but just poured it into two tins instead of one. So amazingly good!

New Routine

So I've been trying to wake up at 7am every morning, it works better some days than others haha. I've also started being more consistent in reading from my Ensign every night (I'm behind a few months, so I'm not reading the current issue) and from my Book of Mormon every morning after I wake up. I've been really good about reading an article before bed, but reading in the morning has been a bit more difficult as I seem to keep falling back asleep, haha. I'm trying to figure out where the best place to read in the morning is for me, so far my bed's not working! But I'm enjoying the effort I'm putting towards reading more spiritual things each day :)

my stirfry and pasta adventures

So I've had a package of microwavable rice sitting in my pantry since last semester and I had a red bell pepper I was worried would go bad so I decided to make stir fry! I unintentionally bought a head of lettuce (I had meant for it to be cabbage) and chopped it up along with the red pepper and some slices of chicken and put them in the skillet. I cooked the rice and when it was all done I combined them altogether! Now while lettuce is very different from cabbage, it didn't ruin my stir fry in the least :)

Tonight I felt like pasta so I boiled some fettuccine noodles, heated some four cheese alfredo sauce, and threw some chicken and broccoli into a skillet :) It turned out delicious and while Leanna didn't join me in eating it, she said it smelled very good :)
