1 banana, frozen
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp honey (optional)
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Cut the frozen banana into 3 or 4 chunks and peel. Place in blender with yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon, and honey (optional). Blend 1-2 minutes on high or until smooth. Pour into glass and top with a dusting of ground nutmeg.
I made this for a morning snack the other day, and it was a hit! My boys (ages 2 and 4) loved them, and so did I. I had all the ingredients on hand, and I think the walnuts made them really yummy, but you could make it without nuts if you don't have any. This was a great way for my 2-year-old, who has had motor skills difficulties, start to successfully drink out of a cup. It made his face look really funny, too!

2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
onions, chopped
carrots, chopped
potatoes, chopped
Pour milk over bread crumbs; add beef, ketchup, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Pat into oblong shape and place in the center of greased baking pan. Place vegetables around meat loaf; season. Cover tightly and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until vegetables are tender. Remove cover and bake an additional 10 minutes to brown.
I found this recipe today, and thought it looked intriguing, so I made it tonight. It was very good, the only thing I would change is to add a little more of the bread crumbs to hold it together better.

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread...
6 c flour (all purpose must!)
3 tbsp plus 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp salt
6 c sugar
1 can (29oz) pure pumpkin
8 eggs
2 c vegetable oil
1 c orange juice or water
1 c sweetened dried, fresh, or frozen cranberries
Preheat oven to 350, grease and flour four 9x5 loaf pans. Combine flour, spice, soda, salt in bowl. Combine sugar, pumpkin, eggs, oil, juice/water in bowl. With wire wisk mix in large bowl until just blended. Add pumpkin to flour mixture, stir until just moistened. Fold in cranberries. Spoon 4 c of batter into each bread pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes or until center is done. Cool in pan or wire racks for 10 minutes, remove to wire rack to cool completely.
My notes: This is by far my most favorite pumpkin bread recipe. I usually use my mini loaf pan and it takes about 45 minutes to bake. You can halve this recipe and this bread freezes great! Once you try this pumpkin bread you will be in love! I alter the recipe and add nuts and/or raisins and sometimes leave out the cranberries and just have regular pumpkin bread. Yummy! You will not be disappointed!

Diego and Dora Birthday Cake...
Benjamin and Ada celebrated their 4th and 2nd birthday with a Diego and Dora Birthday party. I made his cake for both their friends' party and the relative party. This cake was by far the easiest to make.
