The County Fair....and a Muffin Recipe!

Brandie and Haleigh are in Mini 4-H this year. Mini 4-H wasn't around when I was a 4-H member, so it's all  new to us.

In Mini 4-H you exhibit a collection of, well, anything!

Brandie entered her collection of bracelets. She has beaded bracelets, fancy bracelets, grow-in-the-dark bracelets, and even bracelets for her American Girl doll!

Haleigh exhibited her collection of rocks from Sullivan Lake. 

I mixed up some muffins yesterday and took three of them to enter in Open Class. I was pleasantly surprised to win the Grand Champion for Open Class Foods!

Here's the recipe!

Easy Banana Muffins

3-4 Over-ripe Bananas
1 Yellow Cake Mix
2 Eggs
1/2 c Chocolate Chips, optional
1/2 c Chopped Walnuts, also optional


Mash the bananas. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. 
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake at 350 for 17 minutes.


You can also bake it in a loaf pan for about 45 minutes.


I just dumped in some chocolate chips and walnuts. I'm pretty sure there was more than 1/2 cup of each!
