1 egg, lightly beaten

2) In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3) In another bowl, beat together bananas, sugar, egg and melted butter.
4) Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
5) In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle topping over muffins (this was tricky for me).

Amelia Earhart Quotes

~"The most effective way to do it, is to do it."
~"Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn't be done."
~"No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves."
~"Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do."
~"Anticipation, I suppose, sometimes exceeds realization."
~"Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price."
~"...decide...whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying..."

Perfect Cauliflower

Even if you HATE cauliflower (like moi) you will love, love, love this! It is one of the only ways to get me to eat my vegetables (other than putting brown sugar on my carrots) and if that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.

"Even if you hate it; even if you detest it; even if you loathe and abhor cauliflower... You're going to love it after this...

You must, must, must try this recipe!

Ingredients:
One head cauliflower
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2) Cut cauliflower in florets, then cut each floret in
half so each one has a flat side.
3) Rinse thoroughly.
4) Spread one layer deepon a lined baking sheet.
5) Drizzle with olive oil.
6) Sprinkle with kosher salt.
7) Roast for 20 min.

They will come out savory and browned and crunchy and amazing!" Quoted almost exactly from my mom's blog... so thanks mom!
