Banana Muffin Monday

I don't usually put images on this blog, but I'm up for trying new things.



Today I felt very productive. I woke up at about 8:30 in the morning. Waking up early always helps me feel like I've got the whole day ahead of me. Also, I was expecting a visit from Chelsea. We'd planned on getting together to work on wedding favors. So before she got there, I kept myself busy by tidying up the kitchen, washing and putting away dishes, baking, and taking pictures around the house.

The new banana muffin recipe I found was a big hit with my family in New Jersey a couple weeks ago, and so I decided to make them this morning for when Chelsea arrived. It is actually a vegan recipe, which shocks a lot of people. I've been doing a lot of vegan baking/cooking this summer because my sister is vegan. It's been fun looking up new recipes and learning ways to make good food with the sometimes challenging limitations.

Anyways, after cleaning and baking and taking pictures, Chels got there. We popped in a couple movies and worked on wedding favors. We worked on them the whole time she was here, breaking only to eat and use the bathroom. The favors are not even close to being finished, but it still feels good to have gotten so much done today.

I'll be heading out to my mom's in a bit, where I'll try to recruit my sisters to help me get more done.
