BIZZY BAKES

This is a dessert week for the WwDH bakers.  We made  Chocolate, Banana, and Coconut Muffins.  I skipped the coconut because my grandchildren were visiting and they don't like coconut.  Instead, chocolate chips made a major difference to them. These were easy to make and my little granddaughter loves them.  She took one bite and gave a sigh of satisfaction.  The older grandkids enjoyed them as well. Check out the other Donna Hay members and  H earth and Soul Hop       Tuesday’s Table            What' d You Do  This Weekend               see their cupcakes.
