Chocolate Banana Bread Brownies

Sounds divine, doesn't it?  That's because they are!  I had some ripe bananas that were dying to be made into banana nut bread.  I was going to use my go-to recipe; however, I ran into this delish recipe on Six Sisters' Stuff and had to try it.  If you haven't been to this website yet, you should check them out.  These gorgeous ladies are amazing and inspiring. Back to the chocolate banana goodness... The recipe was easy to follow, and luckily I had all ingredients on hand.  (If I didn't have everything, I would've made a quick run to the store.)  The aroma coming from the kitchen drew everyone in.  Now, we do eat dinner together as a family nearly every evening; however, mornings are crazy around our house.  I try to have at least one breakfast together on the weekends.  Family gathering at breakfast... mission accomplished. I think the bananas are much happier as chocolate banana bread brownies rather than banana nut bread ;)

Coffee, chocolate banana bread brownies... bliss!

Mods: None, this recipe is perfect the way it is.
Verdict: Yummers!  Will make again soon ;)

Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle

Easy, yummy recipe I found on Pinterest.  I have been craving pumpkin desserts, pumpkin lattes, etc.  Is it Thanksgiving yet??  When I ran across this recipe on Pinterst and saw how simple it was, I had to try it.  The recipe comes from the following My Baking Addiction. Every recipe that I have tried from this site is nothing short from amazing.  Beware wasteline... this recipe was simple and quick, I can see myself making these yummy pumpkin trifle often. I can't wait to share them with coworkers tomorrow or rather, today... just realized it is 1AM. YIKES!!!

Isn't he so cute?! I just wanna bite him ;)

Mods: I baked gingerbread cookies, crumbled them, and used the crumbs as the cookie layers. I also sprinkled the crumbs on top of the dessert. I made cute mini gingerbread man cookies and placed them on top of each trifle. They are so cute, they look like they are taking a dive into the delish, pumpkiny goodness. 
Verdict: Yummy!  I may have to eat one of these yummy trifles tonight for a midnight snack... Just don't tell anyone ;)  Diet, what diet?!
