An Inspired Cook

Here’s a heads up for those of you with kids, you love them, you teach them, you send them off into the world, but sometimes they come back.  As in my case with my oldest son Josh who spent his first year away from home while going to college.  He’s back for a few weeks until he has a new place lined up and in the meantime he’s showing me a few things he’s incorporated into his daily life.  He’s become quite the breakfast maker, getting up early to make a big breakfast to start his day.  Well, I’m impressed, this kid of mine actually did listen to a thing or two I taught him about food and nutrition.  “So what can I pick up for you at the grocery store” I asked him  He rattled off several things he wanted including lots of bananas. So I picked up 2 big bunches of bananas and guess what, they turned ripe in a hurry and he didn’t eat them like he thought he would.  So what to do with all those ripe bananas, well . . . make muffins, that’s what I do.  And in the fridge I remembered some semi sweet chocolate bars and chocolate chips that I had leftover from another recipe so I decided to throw them into the mix too.
