Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

We always have fruit on hand in our house. The problem is, sometimes it doesn’t get eaten before it starts to go. I hate to waste anything, so I try to make the best out of whatever it is. If I give Charlie half a banana and he doesn’t want the other half and I don’t feel like eating it, in a freezer bag it goes. If we end up with 2 extra bananas when they’re past their prime, in the freezer they go. This recipe was made with bananas from the freezer and strawberries that were just about ready to be pitched.

Everything’s cuter in mini-size, right? And… you never feel as guilty eating 6 mini-muffins as you do multiple regular size muffins.

Relay for Life

Our Relay for Life event was this past Friday into Saturday. I dropped my munchkins off with my mother-in-law and headed out to work on setting up around 1:30pm. Tom picked them up and brought them to Relay when he was done work. The actual event didn’t start until 6pm, but it takes a lot to get the whole event together. Our local paper, The Cecil Daily, covered the event a little. My mom is the chairperson, so I seem to get roped into helping more than I really have time to, but I don’t mind- it’s for a great cause. As Charlie and Owen get older, they’ll be helping Mom and Mommom out! Start ‘em out young!
