Taste of Tuesday with Ashley and Jessica!

08 October 2013 1 comment
Happy Tuesday Everyone! Who doesn't love a good Tuesday!? The sun is finally kind of shining here! This morning one would have thought it was night time it was so dark! There was also some major downpours so I'm excited the sun is now shining in my window! Today is also election day here in Nova Scotia! I voted a couple of weeks ago but if you're reading this and you're from Nova Scotia I hope you went out and voted or are going to vote. You have until 8pm!


Okay, we know why you're here you want to see what idea I have for you to make something! This week is my mom's recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins! I have been eating these my whole life and there has never been a better one! My mother's baking is probably the best in the world! You will love these muffins and if you don't well I don't think we can be friends! 

Mommy Brenda's Chocolate Chip Muffins

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
3 ripe medium bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (can use buttermilk)
1/2 tsp vanilla


  • Preheat oven 400'F
  • Spray muffin tins or use liners
  • Mix together all the ingredients
  • Fold in the amount of chocolate chips you would like. Sometimes more is better and sometimes you maybe want to be a little 'healthy' haha ;) 
  • Bake for 12- 15 minutes, insert a toothpick and make sure it comes out clean.
Mom had made these muffins for all of kids in the family and for all of friends and I don't think one kid has ever not liked them! They are real crowd pleaser as mom says!

I have taken up making them sometimes too because they are easy when you want something sweet but something better than a chocolate bar. I hope some of you try these and love them as much as we do :) And I promise these are almost as easy as going out and buying muffins!


This Weekend I....Weekend Update

Welcome to Monday Again! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend! I know I did! And I have NO pictures to show for it! I swear I need to make a better effort with my picture taking on the weekend especially! Anyways, lets get on with this post!

On Friday night I had a super chill night, I wasn't feeling all that great so I just lazed around most of the night. Saturday, again I was pretty lazy and it was hot so why not really! I did have to run out and get the rest of my present for my lovely Danielle since it was her bridal shower yesterday! I also got some big news that one of my friends is getting married in TWO WEEKS! Yup, wasn't expecting it but great news for sure! Spent most of my Saturday night texting and FBing about that news! haha

Sunday was Danielle's bridal shower as I mentioned before and it was a lovely (very hot) afternoon. Her sister Monique hosted a fantastic shower for her! The weather was super hot but we all dealt with it in style! This should just show Danielle how much we love her! They had a lovely spread of sandwiches and sweets, can we all agree on the fact that sandwiches taste so much better at showers!? We course did the how well do you know Danielle games and all that fun jazz. I'm not a big cheesy shower game player but the games Monique planned were the good ones! Our party favors was a little tea cup with lavender planted in it! I'm hoping I don't kill the lavender! After the shower, I headed to dinner with my momma and Erica at Montana's and it was delish! After that we headed home and I spent the rest of my night reading The Storytellers by Jodi Picoult and wow such an amazing book so far! I have never read anything by Jodi Picoult before but Erica has read most if not all of her books and Erica said this was her best one and it isn't quite the same as most of her books. I'm totally wrapped up into this book! A very good read for anyone looking for a new book!

Now, I wasn't sure I wanted to bring this up on my blog just because I find it so sad, but as a Glee fan I wanted to send my love and prayers to all of Cory Monteith family and friends. As many of us did I woke up to the news of him being found dead in his hotel room. I was shocked and when I saw it I didn't even want to believe it like it must have been some kind of twitter death joke but when you see things on CNN it makes it all too real. I know none of his family or friends will never see this blog but I'm heartbroken for them, I could not imagine losing someone like that. No one had bad words about him, he took as much time as he could for his fans and he worked hard. He didn't seem to have the Hollywood attitude many younger stars get. This just makes me so sad. He was young, talented, handsome and kind. 

RIP Cory Monteith
