Oh my kids. They want bananas. I buy bananas. They don't eat bananas ... and I end up with more overripe bananas.

My daughter enjoyed them for breakfast,… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Banana Bars
I'm savoring the last bits of summer with fresh peaches from the local orchard. Their peaches have been amazing this year - super sweet and juicy.

No… Continue reading Mini Peach Crisp
