Just For Fun

These are a couple of things I bake in my spare time. Most of the time, I just get the urge to bake something and head into the kitchen. I never really plan out, I just hope I have everything I need, and if not, I improvise where I can!

Banana Loaf is on of the go-to's for me. It's easy to make and by keeping bananas in the freezer, they are always on hand when I need them!

I got this idea from a book I bought called 'What's New Cupcake' by Karen Tack & Alan Richardson. I love these books because for a beginner and a self teacher like myself, the cupcakes are easy to make but they look like they take hours!

I made these cupcakes once for a bake sale my sister was having a work and they were a huge hit. They are peanut butter cupcakes with Peanut Butter cups pressed into the centre.

 This is a chocolate peanut butter cupcake with chocolate and peanut butter chips. I found this recipe in a magazine and gave it a try. Peanut Butter and Chocolate is my favorite combo when baking!

Cookies are another of my go-to's. Usually after dinner I get the urge to bake cookies with the boys. At first it was only my oldest son Dominic and I who enjoyed baking, but lately my youngest son Alex has been helping out too!)

These are oatmeal chocolate chip cookies we made.

These are butter tarts I made from scratch. They too were a huge hit!
