Alright, you were all pretty close to what I was baking tonight. :) Tonight I baked chocolate chocolate chip banana bread. Oh it made my place smell so yummy! I also pulled out a few more things out of boxes to continue my decorating quest (see flowers above) and as promised I am honoring some more blog friends with the Butterfly award Melody awarded me yesterday. Baking chocolate chocolate chip banana bread.....is so therapeutic. If you want the recipe go to http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/archives/88 because that's where I found it and she has much better pictures). :) I have to say though this is THE BEST chocolate banana bread I have ever tasted in my life! The consistency is a cross between a bread and a brownie. It probably tastes fabulous with a black tea.
And a few loaves for friends...
All that baking wore Mocha out.

Mocha looks adorable, bet the intoxicating smell completely knocked him out into a deep lullaby! :-) That's a really thoughtful gesture- I love the sparkly brown paper bags you've got! Adds just that touch of glamor into a predictable brown bag.
Ouuuu YUM... I am on my way over for banana bread and a cup of tea!
:-)
Looks yummy!
I agree with Mocha... I think its time for a nap!

The chocolate banana bread looks so yummy! Paris would eat that up in a second!
YUM! I could eat a whole loaf by myself.
These look delicious! Congratulations on your award, it's well deserved!!!
wow... your loaves look so moist and yum... :)
What a darling blog! Thanks for "hanging out" with me~
Oh this recipe looks scrumptious!!
Your cats are gorgeous. I had a blue/grey named Smokey, he lived to be 17. I miss him so. Does yours have rings around the tail?
Oh Boy do those loafs of bread look good!! I can just smell them now! Perfect with tea...off to put a pot on!
That looks so scrumptious.
I use 40 watt bulbs, but you're right, I would like 50 watt better.
Awww! Thanks so much! Your bread looks divine and I love the sparkly gift bags for your friends!
I'm so thrilled you like my writing. You don't know what it means after so many publishers told me how terrible I was (believe it!)
This is so kind of you. I'll have to visit all your darling friends! One can never have too much glitter in their life!
Michelle!
You are killing me those look so good now I have to go to the pastry store tomorrow and get me something like that!
Good Morning Michelle, Those breads look amazing!!!....& so does your blog!!!....so pretty!....And "thank you " so very much for this award! I am so thrilled that you would pick me among the other wonderful blogs!...I will definitely post about it this weekend!....Enjoy your day!....Your friend, Heidi XO
Michelle you always have the cutest posts and ideas! I love your chocolate chip banan bread! What a great idea!
(You have been tagged on my blog!)
oooooooooh they look soooooo good. Would never have thought of that combo though. I am going to have to try that one. I like those bags too, what a great idea I feel a theft coming on......
Oh my gosh that looks good! I think I want to try making it.
And I agree with your choice of Dream Homes, from Pratical Magic, love that house even if it was just a set they built. They filmed near me on Whidbey Island that movie. I like it too!
Oh and you asked on my blog, quilting, no, machine quilting is rather easy. I started my first with a precut kit off eBay, pattern comes with the pieces ready to sew into blocks and then I bought matching fabric at store to put with to make the quilt.
You should try it, even if you start with small things like table runners etc.
Congrats on the award!! And the choc choc chip banana bread...oh drool...I'm going to have to try that one.
Thank you for the award Michelle! I just got back online- sorry I ddidnt respond sooner. I love the pinup girl art!
