Forget the banana bread on this National Banana Day. You MUST, MUST, must instead make these Banana Crunch Muffins.

They are THE BEST!! I make them all the time and highly recommend this recipe (and this is coming from a gal that doesn’t love bananas because I find them too mushy). The recipe is easy to follow and chances are you have all the ingredients already.

The recipe calls for nuts but omit those if you have an allergy or just don’t like nuts. (I love pecans so I actually add more than it calls for but do what you like!)

Laura McKenna’s pick for the best sunscreen
This is a great example of “Do as I say, not as I do.” Yesterday, I planted my garden and I didn’t use any sunscreen. Today, I’ve turned into a juicy red tomato. Ugh! And I know better! May 27th is National Sunscreen Day for a reason. While I do love soaking up sunshine’s Vitamin […]
