CHAPSTICK SEASON!!
I’ve been playing with lots of different versions
of these cute little cozies
{my sewing machine has been getting a workout!}
They are FUN to make
and so very fun to use
Hook ‘em to your
keychain, purse or or to a kiddo’s backpack!!

These bars are divine!!
and they have the bonus of using those
a little too ripe bananas
sitting on your counter
USE UP THOSE ‘NANNERS!!!
mmmmmm!!
Here’s the lowdown:
{I initially got the banana bar recipe from here}
– miss you darby!!
{YUMMY BANANA BARS}
1/2 c butter (softened)
2 c sugar
3 eggs
pinch of salt
3 medium ripe bananas (mashed)
1 t vanilla
2 c flour
1 t baking soda
--------------------
Beat sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in eggs, banana and vanilla. Combine flour, soda & salt; add to creamed mixture. Pour into 15 x 10 pan. Bake at 350 for 25 – 30 min until golden brown.
I just love baking with
brown eggs…
simply because they’re
pretty!
and
a vintage aqua mixing bowl
for the same reason!

Bake up the bars and then top with frosting of your choice
… instead of cream cheese frosting like usual
I chose to try a
new pudding/whipped cream frosting
that I snagged off pinterest here (via here)
& then topped it off with toffee bits
oh yeah baby!
enjoy !!
