Happy Birthday, Banana!

Yesterday, Banana turned 4. We celebrated by making her a cake

Here’s the recipe (although, we didn’t add the icing, we just used peanut butter)

2/3 cup ripe mashed bananas
1/2 cup softened safflower margarine
3 large eggs
3/4 cup Water
2 cups unbleached white flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

In mixing bowl, beat together mashed banana and butter until creamy. Add eggs and water. Beat well. Stir in dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. Add nuts. Spoon batter evenly into oiled and floured bundt pan. Bake for about 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes, remove from pan, replace on rack and cool.

To make Banana Carob frosting, combine the following ingredients and blend thoroughly:

2 cups ripe banana, mashed
1 Tbs butter
6 Tbs carob powder
2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbs Unbleached flour
1 tsp cinnamon

Wayside Waifs: January 19

Every day I wake up excited for what’s to come. On my list of things that I must do every day is make a positive impact in some way on someone or (in this case) lots of animals. I’ve been a proud volunteer at Wayside Waifs since March of 2008, and I’m proud to show up there and capture some beautiful portraits of wonderful animals looking for a new family to love them. Volunteering for Wayside has brought me so much JOY, not to mention, a whole bunch of awesome new friends. I won’t adopt from any other shelter. EVER. Just felt like getting that out there.

Now, here’s a few of the sweet doggies I met today…
