Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe comes to you at the request of my 3-year-old daughter. A few Saturdays ago she woke up and the first thing she said is “Momma, will you make me breakfast? Something with bananas?

Mocha sherbert
I have fond sherbert memories from childhood. What? Most people don’t have food memories? Oh honey, I do. I’ve always loved food (perhaps a bit too much? Hello, gym membership!)
