We had some good news this week. First, our whopping cough test came back negative. Hooray! Second, we are finally emerging from the zombie state of this awful cold! I hate having sick kids. Not being able to make them feel better is the worst. So now that we’re all getting our appetites back, it’s fun to start playing in the kitchen again.
These were a huge hit, I love anything with caramelized bananas… and the chocolate doesn’t hurt either of course. ; )
