Prep and Freeze: Bananas.

Each week I buy 3-4 bananas at the grocery store. Some weeks we eat them all but some weeks I find myself left with a few, overly ripe bananas. When this happens, I like to freeze the bananas for a later use.

 

I prefer to peel my bananas before freezing and then simply add the bananas to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Then I can take out them, as needed. Frozen bananas can be used for many different recipes such as banana bread, muffins and pancakes. I also use frozen bananas as a base for smoothies.

Easy Chocolate-Chip Pumpkin Muffins.

This is a super-easy recipe that is quick and delicious. My little guy loves to be my assistant in the kitchen and I love the mommy-son time so I enlisted his help. He was very enthusiastic about adding chocolate chips and some of these got quite a few on top.
