Cocoa and banana muffins with black sesame seeds -- Muffins à la banane et au cacao avec sésame noir
These muffins?
Well, I baked them with that purpose in mind. They needed to taste good. Of course. Have a taste of chocolate. Always. And bananas. Moisture, you know? And use flavorful flours full of nutrients.
Why?
Because I want them to be good for Lulu. And us too. And do you know what? This winter is my first filled with colds and runny noses. I am not used to it. I am told it's what happens when a little one goes to daycare. It's real. It is happening.
But thankfully, there's always homemade foods in our home. To eat and feel well.
These foods always taste better.
Lulu, who helped to bake, was the first one to agree.
Oh how much I love my daughter girl! She cooks and bakes with me!It's an honor for my blog to be nominated as one of the Babble's Top 100 2011 Food blogs (in the top 10). Look at these lovely blogs. I discovered so many cute interesting ones. Cast your votes. Thank you for your constant support. You make this blog happen too, you know that, right?
