So I have done a lot of things with Aden but really when it comes to cooking and baking I make a big mess all by myself so I usually just do it with Aden on the other side of the baby gate. But seeing a friends blog post with pictures of her little one helping I thought Aden might enjoy it too! So this morning after breakfast Aden and I baked a loaf of banana bread. I figured the best way to share is by sharing the recipe and directions!
My favorite Banana Bread
8Tbl- 1 stick of butter or Margarine
2Cups all-purpose flour
1tsp Salt
1 1/2tsp baking powder
3/4Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
3 Mashed Bananas (I like to use the ones that are past their prime...they mush easier and it is a good way to get use out of 
bananas that would other wise go to waist)
bananas that would other wise go to waist)1tsp Vanilla
1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts...you can crush them too....Aden liked that part :)
Mix Dry Ingredients
Cream butter and beat in eggs and bananas- add
to dry ingredientsdo not over mix
stir in vanilla and nuts
Bake at 350 F for 45-60 Min
Until nicely browned
You can kill time while it is baking by cleaning up!
And the very last and best step
EAT IT!!!

Looks like he'll be making meals for you in no time!!
Thanks. Now my stomach is growling! I'd go make some now if I had bananas!
I've had Tianna help me a bit lately... usually it results in flour being flipped out of the bowl the moment I finish telling her to stir carefully... but oh well. It's fun and she loves it! It just makes me grateful I don't have carpet in my kitchen! hahah
PS- Aden is so cute! I love my nephew!
