Our good friends came over for dinner and a movie tonight, the kiddos were so excited to see Kenzie and Mr. Red Feather. Our guests were nice enough to bring everyone pizza. The littless had fun creating their own personal pizza's.
Getting ready to make their pizza.
Fun stuff!
Jericho was showing off for Kenzie. He kept doing this, then saying "Kenzie look at me, look at me!" It was awesome LOL.
Dessert was another new one, for us, from Skinny Taste...Hummingbird cupcakes. They were really good, the kids and I loved them, Jason said they were good...but he liked the Pina Colada ones much more.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp oil (I used coconut)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
20 oz can crushed pineapple in juice, drained well
1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the Frosting:
8 oz 1/3-less fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
22 pecan halves
Directions:
To prepare frosting, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and spices; stir well with a whisk.
In a medium bowl, combine oil, eggs, and vanilla; stir well. Add banana and pineapple; mix well.
Fold wet ingredients and chopped pecans with the dry ingredients, batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all comes together.
Spoon batter into cupcake tin. Bake at 350° for about 20-23 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Spread frosting over the cupcakes once they are cooled. Garnish each cupcake with a pecan half on top. 198 calories and 6 1/2 grams of fat each.
My family got to see Frozen for the first time tonight, thanks Auntie Allie...the munchkins LOVE it, so do I. I had heard some negative things about this movie, after watching it I have again come to the conclusion that some people just look for any reason to bitch. Stop doing that people...takes too much energy and time to bitch about everything. Just Let It Go :)
Haddie made a drawing for Jericho, of Jericho. She had a little help with the Superman symbols, but did all the rest herself. Jericho loved it!
