Thank you for your support. I am very picky about muffins. I do not like dry ones! They must be moist, flavorful and if they have a streusel topping then that is even better! Luckily, this version of banana muffins really fit that bill and hit the spot! I also love it when you don't have to mix up muffins or quick breads in a mixer. For years I have used my Tupperware Mix and Store Batter Bowl for making everything from cupcakes, to muffins to pancakes. That pour spout is just so handy when it is time to fill cupcake liners or to pour out pancake batter onto a hot griddle! My Tupperware bowl is getting a little worse for wear, but I still use it. Plus, I also have a Pampered Chef version in glass. When I'm not using my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer, these are the best bowls to use when mixing with a portable mixer or by hand. There are quite a few versions of this type of bowl, such as this one by Anchor Hocking or a set of them in stainless by Rorence. This recipe can be all mixed together in one of my favorite mixing bowls by hand in no time and then popped in the oven. It is a quick clean-up after that which is another reason to love this recipe. Using up black bananas? Check! This recipe uses 3 of them! Will feed a crowd? This recipe makes about 18 muffins, so not bad! Since I made them for just myself and my husband, then shared some with friends, we still have a few on day 3. But guess what! They are still as moist and delicious as day 1! So check and check! It helps to keep them stored in an air tight container of course. I'm using my Tupperware 12" round container. It is always my go to for muffins, cupcakes and cookies. The brown sugar streusel topping adds the perfect crunch to the tops of these muffins because the muffin itself is so soft and moist. Together you get the perfect combination for what tastes like the perfect muffin to go with your Hot Cocoa Bomb, or your hot apple cider! (I've tried them with both!) I found this recipe awhile back on Sugar Spun Run, and tweaked it a bit for my purposes, so you can click to her recipe or here is my version.

I've been very blessed this season with free peaches from a few different sources! I've already canned some and juiced some. But, you can't get nice fresh peaches without making cobbler! There are many types of cobbler. A popular recipe with campers is the cake mix style recipe. (Lindsey's fav), and I blogged about a blueberry version here. There is the biscuit topped style and there is the cake-like style such as Essie's Cobbler that I gave you the recipe for here. I was having a conversation with someone lately about what kind of cobbler we love. She mentioned that her mother used to make cobbler with a pie crust type topping. That is also the type of cobbler that I remember the most from my childhood. Although I have various varieties of cobbler recipes, funny enough I do not have the recipe that I remember the most! I figured that it had to be pretty straight forward, because a pie crust topped cobbler seems synonymous with what people call a slab pie today, except there is no bottom crust!

I've been gifted quite a few butternut squash. Luckily, this squash keeps well on the counter because I haven't had a chance to prepare it. Plus, in 118 degree weather, no one feels like making soup or roasting vegetables. But, now that school has started and we have had a few thunderstorms, it is beginning to feel like Fall, in spirit, if not in temperature. The time has come to prepare the squash! There are 3 recipes that we have posted here on the blog that are a few of my go-to recipes when I have squash to prepare. I'm sure that I will make at least one of these:
You know, sometimes you just feel like trying something new. So, I've been scouring the web to see if something strikes my fancy. Here are a few that I'm interested in:

She chose a Dolly Parton Style Coconut Cake Mix that I had in my cupboard and whipped that up as a 2 layer round cake. I had seen a cake online that was decorated to look like a campfire. Since her dad and my husband both love camping, I suggested that might me a great way to decorate the cake. She was all in! If you decide to make this cake, of course you can do it in any flavor you like.
