School closed today, so watch out. This post will be a doozy. I've got a pot of coffee all to myself, and all the kids are still in bed.
I guess, although we are to warm up to the 38°F, they are predicting ice covered roads until noon today.
Aside from animal feed, which I may run out before the end of the week, I'm declaring this week a no-spend week. Toilet paper is stocked up so we are good in that department.

Stupid Pie ~ Holy Basil - not just for tea ~ Honey Mustard and Onion Pretzels
(Yesterday morning's sunrise)
This time of year, everything is very wet early in the morning. As I picked green peppers yesterday, I noticed how wet the garden still is.
I opted to bake first, then head to the front flower beds instead. I was sure to get "Frankenstein" feet if I went to the vegetable garden.
While my breakfast cooked, I quickly tossed ingredients together to make a pie for dinner. Which by the way, was not a pie I'll make again.
It was called "Stupid Pie" and

Going Bananas. . .
Bananas were on sale, so I decided to try dehydrating them into chips. If they kids like them, they will be healthy, inexpensive lunch packings and snacks.
My intention was to sit, sip a hot cup of tea, inhale the wonderful apple spice candle, and read over some magazines from the library.
However, while the tea cooled, I looked over to see that more of my bananas were ripe - too ripe to eat. So I hopped on the handy dandy computer and made these Healthy Banana Cookies. So simple, and so delicious.
Then I sat back down to sip my tea, and came across another recipe - Banana Chocolate Cupcakes.
I ended up baking again.
I whipped my egg whites by hand this time. Very easy to do also. It was a rainy, dreary day, so it may be why I got the "baking bug" or it may be just the case of "when you give a mom a muffin." You know how we can all get side tracked so easily in our day?
These were in the "Lower-Calorie" section of the Diabetic Cooking magazine. We are not diabetic, but love their lower sugar/calorie recipes. The family devoured these, even before I had a chance to frost them.
I still have more ripe bananas for baking, but need to run to the store for some butter. Otherwise, you'd be looking at photos of banana bread also.
Baking - the best therapy for stress.
