Only 2 days til Christmas!!!

So today was "Tea Cake" and a day it was! :)

Tea Cakes are a family tradition and there are so yummy! They are great with hot tea, coffee, milk or just by themselves! I love making these and only make them right before Christmas! So that makes them all the more special!

I love having traditions especially around Christmas!!!!

Here is a full batch!

And a half a batch!

Christmas tree!

I wrapped all of these last night so I wanted to take a picture of them! :)

Hope you are enjoying the days before Christmas! Enjoy them they go way too fast!

Wishing you a very Merry CHRISTmas!!!!

Much love,

Wordless Wednesday!

Banana Bread

So like weeks ago I made banana bread and took pictures {of course!}! And I am just now posting them! This is a lower fat banana bread that I got off of allrecipes.com and it was really great! :)

I used old bananas! :)

Mashed them up!

Here is all the ingredients {minus the pecans I used!}

Baking in the oven

Mixing it up!

Finished products!

Yummy! I want to make some more soon! :)

Something Sweet

So last week before Welcome Week {this is UMHB's freshman orientation...which I helped with} I decided to try my great Grandma Hazel's coffee cake recipe and it is FABULOUS!!! :) This was my first time to cook in my apartment! :)

So very good! I put some in Bethany's room {my sister} for her first day moving in! Here is my adventure in pictures! :)

Enjoy!

Here is Grandma Hazel and Pap! :) Many years ago....

About to be ready to bake!

Ready for the oven!

The brown sugar totally makes the cake! :)

Me waiting on the coffee cake to be done!

Just out of the oven!

It came out perfectly!!! Not bad for my first one! :)

Such a great recipe! So glad to have great grandma's to learn from! :)
