Hello again blog fam and foodie fans. I’m well aware that it’s been a while since I’ve posted about food. My excuse is that it’s summer and grilling weather. Most of the time we just throw some veggies and meat on the grill- and, I just haven’t been “cooking” as much. Warmer weather calls for lighter eating in my book.

Today however I had several brown bananas on the counter, and I’ve been craving a banana cake. Perfect timing.  I normally decide to make cupcakes over a cake because they travel easier, and are easier to portion out. Plus, I can give them away. Who wants one?!

So my chocolate drizzle didn’t really turn out as pretty as I had hoped (although it still tastes fine!). I melted some chocolate chips with a bit of sweetened condensed milk, and tried to drizzle it from a squeeze bottle. The bottle got too hot in the microwave, and the chocolate mixture didn’t get hot enough- as you can see. So, the lesson is: next time melt the chocolate chips an condensed milk in a sauce pan, and just drizzle with a spoon, or transfer to a squeeze bottle after chips are fulyl melted and incorporated into the sweetened condensed milk. Hey, ya live and ya learn!

Andddddd. . . . now it’s dessert time. Wishing y’all a fabulous, and SWEET night!

xoxo Kelli
