Frozen Peanut Butter and Banana Treats

Looking for a fun treat to help cool off this hot summer?  From the picture you can see this is nothing fancy, but they are really good.  All the kids
were able to help out and had a great time
doing it.  We made this in the afternoon and
had them for our after dinner treat.  I had Maddie
slice the bananas, Tyler and Jeremy added the smudge of peanut butter and I dipped them in the melted chocolate chips.  Super easy and a lot of fun to do with the kids!  These lasted over a week in
the freeze so it was nice to have a quick treat whenever we felt like it!



Frozen Peanut Butter and Banana Treats

Ingredients:

1/2 cup peanut butter
3 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices2 cups chocolate chips (we like the milk chocolate, but use your favorite)
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream


Mix chocolate and cream in a small glass bowl.  Microwave until melted and smooth, stirring about every 30 seconds.
Line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Arrange banana slices on paper.  Drop about 1 tsp peanut butter over the top of the banana.  Using a folk and knife, dip 1 banana slice in chocolate, coating completely. Shake off excess chocolate, transfer to foil-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining bananas, peanut butter and chocolate.  An added twist would be to coat the chocolate covered bananas with different toppings, such as coconut, chopped nuts or whatever you feel inspired to use.  I thought a little drizzle of caramel would have been divine!  Just have fun with it! Freeze until firm, about 3 hours, then serve.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
