Before & After

Summer is here and our peonies look so pretty.  Sadly, they lasted about a week, because it rained continuously for several days!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, I made a blueberry lemon buttermilk cake from a recipe on the Tasty Kitchen blog.  Sadly, it didn't rise and was pretty thin.  I suspect either my baking soda or baking powder expired?  Do they expire? Anyway, the cake was still pretty good!

I stored it in one of those clear tupperware containers and left it outside.  One week later, I opened it and the cake had mold alllll over it

Banana Bread

My cousin gave me this banana bread mix a while ago, and I finally got around to making it!  I'm not really into prepared mixes, since it isn't that much more work to mix your own flour, sugar, baking powder, etc. 

It was pretty simple, just needed to add bananas, water & 1 egg.  I also added in walnuts to make it more tastier.

Below is the finished product:

P.S. Self-inflicted month of vegetarianism ended, and right away, I ate 4 meatballs from dim sum.  Lemme just say, this is highly unadvised after eating vegetables for a long time.  Me and the toilet were best friends +_+
