Black Bottom Cupcakes

I had some bananas froze that I have been waiting to use for a while, so when I came across this recipe on Bakerella's website recently, I tried it that very day!  They are now long gone, but with more bananas in the freezer, I have a feeling I might get to enjoy them again soon.

Easy Fruit Smoothie

I have always loved making homemade smoothies, but I hate cleaning up the blender afterwards.  I finally purchased a single serving blender and LOVE it!  These things are awesome, and there are lots of options that are very reasonably priced.  I have the G&E and it was under $20 and works great.

Here is a really quick and easy fruit smoothie that I make a lot.

Sushi

The word Sushi used to make me squirm.  The thought of eating raw fish did not excite my taste buds one bit.  All of this changed when my husband moved to Tampa Bay for a few months, and got us both hooked.  While we stick mostly to the cooked rolls, we have ventured out and tried a few raw rolls as well. Who would have guessed a few years ago that when we go out to a restaurant, that it is usually for sushi!  We have enjoyed some great sushi during our travels and at our many hockey homes. 

Last year for Valentine's day, we decided to stay at home and try to make a sushi roll ourselves.  It was a lot of fun, and tasted decent.  This season, we have started to make sushi a lot, and I must admit, I think we do pretty good!  The rolls are pretty easy, but very tastey!
