Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe.

1/2 c. butter flavor shortening
1 c. white sugar
2 eggs
2 c. mashed bananas
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. soda
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 TBS cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chips.

Cream shortening and sugar.  Add over-ripe bananas and eggs.  Add sifted flour, salt, and soda.  Add vanilla, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.  Bake at 350.  If you do a loaf, bake for 45 minutes.  If you do muffins the time will vary depending on your muffin tin - approx. 25 minutes.  When you insert a sharp knife and it comes out clean, it's done.

This is my Grand-mother's recipe.  Love it!  Enjoy!

Citrus......

 We have been enjoying the citrus these days.  It seems to be growing everywhere.  We decided to go ahead and buy and juicer and it has revolutionized our beverage life.  :)  Fresh squeezed orange juice - it's liquid health! 

 My little man and I were picking lemons in the backyard.  He kept picking up the ones that had fallen on the ground and studying them.  What a sweet boy!

Soft grass and popsicles

 I love this time of year in AZ!  It's just the right temperature.  Love my backyard and my cute little kiddos!
