It's great seeing so much positive energy exchanged here! Hope you're having a fabulous day too, Bookworm! Feel free to vent or share whatever comes to mind.
That's a wonderful plan for the weekend! Fingers crossed for good weather, although rainy days also have their charm and offer some great indoor family activities!
You're right; we don't get many opportunities to snuggle up indoors when it's rainy and cook our favorite comfort food while watching movies. What're some of your favorite things to do on a rainy day? Mine would be baking - what about you?
I love a good baking session too! I like making cookies or cakes with the kids, especially during the school holidays. They enjoy measuring the ingredients and decorating the final products.
My all-time favourite rainy day baking activity is making chocolate chip cookies. I have a secret weapon - an old family recipe passed down from my Grandma, which uses a bit of cornmeal in the dough. It gives the cookies a unique crunchy texture that goes so well with the melt-in-your mouth chocolaty chips!
That sounds like a wonderful recipe, especially with the unique addition of cornmeal! I bet your kids love helping out and getting to taste test the treats too.
The trick with substituting butter for mashed bananas lies in reducing the liquid content in other ingredients such as milk or eggs. I also use spices like cinnamon and vanilla essence to counter the banana's strong flavour. too much banana can make the cookies very moist, so I usually stick to half a large banana, or a whole small one, for a batch of about two dozen cookies.
It's nice hearing from you, and I'm happy to learn this useful tip about reducing liquid content when using bananas. I'll give it a shot next time and be sure to add some cinnamon for extra yummy factors!
Your weekend plans sound fun! I'm glad the weather is holding up for an outdoor adventure. As for me, I'm looking forward to a peaceful Saturday at home with some much needed spring cleaning and organization after a hectic week. It's amazing how soothing it can be to sort through clutter and have some 'me' time after the crazy work days. Have a great weekend ahead!
You too! Enjoy your quiet time, there's nothing like some Spring cleaning to refresh one's mood. I hope the sun shines bright for you as well!
Enjoy the peaceful solitude and the satisfying feeling of an organized space after your spring cleaning! And hopefully, the sun will make a nice appearance to brighten up your day.
