The Connector {Recipe: Waffle Cone Fruit Cups}
My friend DeLynn is one of those friends who is great at “connecting” with people.

Three ripe bananas were sitting in our fruit basket, taunting me with options. Should I make banana muffins? How about sour cream banana pancakes?

Ode to the Cherry Pitter

Blueberry Coffee Cake
I am always warning my kids not to spill things… “Don’t spill that… chocolate stains”. So, many times I’ll get the question asked of me by my kiddos, “Mommy, does this stain?”. I’m not sure if they are asking because they want permission to spill something, or if they are going to gauge my response…
