Banana bread muffins!!!

 I get really excited when I bake something because it rarely happens. That's my excuse for all the exclamation points. And the fact that these are super good and easy to make! True story.

Muffins:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
  1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
 
Topping:
  1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Grease muffin tins.
Cream the butter, vanilla, and sugar in a large mixing bowl with electric hand mixer until fluffy. Beat in the eggs. In a small bowl, combine the mashed bananas and sour cream. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Blend the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, then add in the banana mixture. For the topping, use a fork to mix ingredients together. I like to leave it a little lumpy.
Spoon a little more than halfway into prepared muffin tins. Sprinkle topping over the top.
Bake 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.


I did it! I baked something! And nobody died!

Part 1. Done. Finally.

After a ton of errors, a few good yelling spurts, one bandaid and eight million years later... I managed to get Part 1 done. Ta fucking da.

Steotch stitch-along 2014

What do these colors remind me of???

 I'm doing my first stitch-along via Steotch.com that started two days ago. (You can do it too and it's free. Though they do take donations.) Every 5 days they give you new stitches to do, so you need to keep up, otherwise you'll be behind, so set your alarm if you have to. I haven't started yet but I'm going to track my progress because why not?!- I do have a blog after all. I missed the last stitch-along and I keep seeing everyone SUPER excited about this one, so I'm doing it. 
Aaaaaaand GO!
