Last week I told you about my new digital kitchen scale and how I am experimenting with which measuring technique works better for me. I started out with Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies and then I decided that my next try would be cupcakes. I had some bananas that were getting quite ripe, so I decided on a recipe for Banana Cupcakes. So far, I've made the weighed measurement ones, I will make the standard cup measurement recipe soon and let you know if there is any difference.
I am very happy with the way these cupcakes turned out. They are lighter than muffins, which was my goal. As they sat in my Tupperware over the next day of two, the banana in them became much more noticeable, which I loved. Of course, if you have very many kids, they won't last long.
Be sure to use nice ripe bananas in your recipe for the sweetness and flavor! I topped mine with a vanilla buttercream frosting. I did add a couple of Tablespoons of real butter to that recipe because I wanted a little of that real butter flavor with the banana flavor.
Follow us on Facebook or Instagram for when I update the results of the standard recipe and let you know which I like better!

I am a big fan of the Great British Baking Show. If you've watched it, you will have noticed that the bakers create their recipes using digital kitchen scales. It got me to wondering if there is a big difference in the results between the use of the scale compared to the standard way of measuring with cups and spoons. So, I asked for a digital kitchen scale for Christmas and I got one! (Thanks Maddy and Jacob!) Now, my experimentation has begun, much to my husband's delight.

Fancy journals that make you want to crack them open and write your inner most thoughts can be pricey. If you are a prolific writer of journals, crafting your own journal might be a fun option.
My creative granddaughter is always on board when it comes to doing a new craft or activity. I had been toying with the idea of creating journals using inexpensive composition books for awhile and when I mentioned the idea to Jayda, she was all in!

One thing I am very grateful to my parents for is teaching me the value of money and how to save. I learned not only through direct instruction, but by example. I saw my mother balancing her checkbook and budget book every week, couponing, saying no to wants, and most importantly, paying tithing.
Don’t get the idea that money was never spent on fun, or wants, but we all understood that we can’t always get what we want. And lots of fun was had as a family without spending tons of money. These are ideas and values I would like to instill in my children. Alas, I’m not my mother and many more things are done online today or on the computer. My budget book, coupons, and even paying my tithing are done digitally. It’s harder for my kids to observe me doing these tasks and learn how to do them themselves. I’ve had to be more intentional about teaching my kids about money and responsibility. To do this I have started reading books about money to my kids, started a chore menu system, and started a budget tracking system with our son. |
