Tis the Season to...Bake!

I'm a Christmas baby...well kind of. My birthday was December 11th (it's exactly two weeks before Christmas and 3 before New Years, so once I know what day my bday will fall on I also know what day those 2 holidays will be as well, you probably didn't care). I got the coolest Kitchenaid Mixer; which is perfect, because it's time to bake. I made Chocolate Chip cookies for a youth group girls spend the night on Saturday and woke up at 5:30 to bake Banana Nut Bread for my coworkers today.  (Vanessa, you would be happy to know my recipe calls for 1/2 tsp + dash of baking soda, hilarious...glad I have those new measuring spoons) Vanessa got me measuring spoons that measure a dash, smidgen, and ??? (can't remember the other thing), because they had a sailboat charm hanging from the ring. She knows I love everything sailboat; it's true! I also love teal, and I'm pretty picky about what shade of teal. It has to be the right balance of green and blue, and it never photographs well (you'll see). My husband knows this and got me a "Bay Leaf" Artisan Kitchenaid Mixer....hooray!



Ain't it purdy!


First batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies.
This is closer to true color.
Banana Nut Mini Loaves

P.S. I use the Nestle Chocolate Chip Recipe on the back of the
bag...that's actually the bag laying there under the measuring cup :)
But I used Publix brand chocolate chips...oh well!
