Too good not too share

Having come across a recipe for banana and nutella muffins jotted down in an old notebook and having been a cake free house for quite some time, I thought it was time we had a treat.

These muffins were so delicious, I just couldn't not share (the recipe that is, not the muffins)

230g SR flour
150g granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs lightly beaten
113g melted unsalted butter
3 large very ripe bananas
1tsp vanilla extract
4tbls nutella

Pre-heat oven to 180 or gas mark 4

Combine flour, sugar and salt in one bowl and in another eggs, butter, mashed bananas and vanilla.
Tip one into the other and gently fold together untill batter thoroughly mixed but still lumpy.
Add mixture to your muffin cases and then add a tsp of slightly warmed nutella to the centre of each one and swirl around with a cocktail stick.

Pop in centre of oven and bake for 20 - 25 mins.

ENJOY.................................................

They won't last long TRUST ME!

Snow Day

It snowed, it rarely snows here, it always seems to bypass us so you can imagine the excitement when we woke this morning and even better when we received emails informing us that both the childrens schools were closed.

We played out in our PJs (with coats too of course) and built a little snow friend...................................

We went for a walk and then out on the toboggan before choosing to call it a day and coming home for warm drinks followed by hot baths.

With the little man snuggled down with Daddy and my girl out with friends I got a little bit crafty, after months with no crafting my mojo may finally be back.

I found instructions on pinterest for a photo canvas and had to give it a go.....................................

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Looks fantastic on my fireplace and will be even better when I add one of my girl too!

The Fifty Book Challenge

I love to read and love a good challenge so when I came across this post it seemed perfect for me!

I'm not sure how many books a year I read but I'm sure it's not fifty and I'm not sure if I'll manage to complete this challenge but I will give it my best shot.

I had already planned to keep a track of the books I read this year in my journal but I will add them as I finish each book to my sidebar too.

I'm starting off the year reading

I had picked up several times but wasn't too sure as it's not my usual read but I noticed it was ridiculously cheap to download on the kindle so went for it and have to say I'm enjoying it immensely!
