What I'm Loving Lately -Food Blogs {April edition}

Well it’s the last Monday of the month again, and time for another edition of What I’m Loving Lately. This month I am highlighting a few of my favorite food blogs. I’m kind of sad to be sharing these with you because they are like my secret stash of jewels.

Tilapia Piccata {Foodie Friday}

I don't know how, but my freezer somehow ended up full of fish..it must have been a really good sale...haha. We have had chicken piccata before, and loved it, so I figured tilapia piccata was going to be a winner. I was right. I never cared much for lemon tasting things growing up, but lately it has really been hitting the spot. This makes for a nice quick family dinner. My fillets were pretty small, so they cooked quickly, so keep the size of your fillets in mind while cooking.

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting {Foodie Friday}

Again with the bananas?! I know, I know. I can’t help myself. We have a lot of bananas..and I just  can't bear to see food go to waste. Anytime a banana starts to turn, I pop it in the freezer and save it for baking. This cake is easy to prepare and is a delicious way to use over ripe bananas. Bananas are fruit, right? So it’s healthy. This cake is a little more formal than banana ‘breads’. I love that it has icing on it too.  It’s still ok to eat this for breakfast…

We’re still waiting for Jace to arrive, but in the meantime, enjoy some pictures of Kily and Josh who are waiting with great anticipation the arrival of their baby boy!

Pretzel Bites, with a twist! {Foodie Friday}

Last Christmas my sister and I made these soft pretzels for our annual appetizer night. We were very happy with the results of our first time pretzel making skills. This year we went for something a little more finger food friendly. Pretzel Bites!

DIY Modern Art Baby Gift

Have you seen all the adorable modern art available on Etsy?

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies {Foodie Friday}

Since the twins were born, baking has been my therapy. For the first month or so I don’t think I did anything but bake. It wasn’t good for my waistline, but it’s certainly cheaper and tastier than actual therapy, lol. I don’t know why, but baking is extremely relaxing for me and it gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. These cookies are by no means difficult to make, but they are amazingly delicious. It’s a peanut butter cookie filled with the classic peanut butter and chocolate combination. I think we spent more time unwrapping the peanut butter cups than mixing the dough.

March Photo Shoot {My Photography}

The weather so was beautiful on Friday. I was on my way from work with the windows down and I decided it was the perfect day for a photoshoot. We haven't been outside for months, so when I got home I asked Caroline if she wanted to go outside and play. Of course she did, so she packed up all her toys in her little backpack, I changed her clothes, grabbed my camera, and we headed outside. Luckily the weather was so nice and the sunlight was so pretty, these pictures didn't require a whole lot of editing. These were taken in about an hour and just in my back yard (and on the unfinshed porch as you no doubt have noticed)..nothing fancy here.
