To Warm You...

... on this dreary day.

We've been having such dreary, cold and rainy weather here in Bama for the past week.

I'M READY FOR SPRINGTIME!!!

So, here's a little goody to warm you through on this day.  I do NOT claim to be a master baker, nor photographer.  But I love to cook and take pictures. :)

So here's my creation from this weekend.  

Banana Cupcakes w/ Nutella Buttercream Frosting

I'm IN LOVE with this frosting now... and so proud b/c I just totally did it on my own!  I know, I know... I found some recipes later after I googled it, but I had already made it at that point.  If only I were the FIRST person to think of it. :)

I was going to try Maple Buttercream (thinking that would go good with bananas), but then I noticed I had a half eaten jar of Nutella in the pantry.  I discovered Nutella last year (after hearing about it forever but just never trying it) and I wondered, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?!"

So I thought, "Why not make it into buttercream?"  MAN, am I glad I did.  I'm thinking I might use this to frost Jase's birthday cake in April (which I'll tell you about later).

My thought process was: Chocolate covered banana?  Sounds good to me!

Enjoy!

YUM-O!!!
