Monday Ramblin'.....



Remember I mentioned in a previous post about a hen that got away and was sitting on eggs? Well they finally hatched some days ago....I managed to get this picture yesterday morning and I can't believe she let me get close enough to do it....She gets all over Ruger if he even comes within sight of her babies!! Poor Ruger....he just wants to play!!
I'd love to keep them but until I can get a coop and pen put up I'm out of the chicken/egg business! I need to get them to a new home.




************************************






After about a week and a half my bananas finally ripened enough to make some muffins! Mmm...I might of shared this recipe before but I'll post it anyways...it is THE best banana bread recipe! You can make it a loaf or muffins. It will make 12 of the large muffins.








Banana Bread....

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 1/3 cup baking mix (I use Bisquick)
1 cup sugar (I have substituted Splenda for baking for this)
1/2 chopped nuts (I actually use like 3/4 cup chopped pecans)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9"x 5" loaf pan w/ non-stick cooking spray or line muffin tins with paper baking cups (large tins). Measure all ingredients into large bowl. Mix until fully combined. Pour into prepared pan. Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in pan before loosening the sides. Remove to wire rack to cool. Enjoy!!

It looks to be a beautiful day out today. Hmm....I get to work at home today and I thought I'd stay in and sew but maybe I'll go pull some weeds and prepare the flower boxes for planting. I hope to get over to the Amish greenhouse sometime this week! I can work inside later...and after day....make good use of a beautiful day!

I hope the sun is shining in your little corner of the world....enjoy it!! Have a wonderful day!!

Nothing beat chicks and ducklings to know that spring is really here... very cute.

Banana bread is one of my favourites - but we don't have Bisquick in Oz. Still, I've never tried pecans, only walnuts and/or raisins. Sounds very yummy...
