Suzie Homemaker

Some days I feel like cleaning, cooking, and other chores are the bane of my existence, and some days I feel like Suzie Homemaker and think I can tackle anything that comes my way with a smile on my face and a skip in my step. Unfortunately I never know which way I'm going to feel on any given day. I wish I felt the latter more often. . . Today has been a Suzie Homemaker kind of day. I have done dishes, and vacuumed and picked up and made some pretty awesome Banana Muffins, on top of doing normal mom stuff such as refereeing squabbles over toys and picking up the Lego's and making snacks and lunch , etc. I'm not really even too bothered that my husband is going to be home late tonight!

Banana Muffins
3 very ripe bananas mashed
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup flour

Cream sugar and shortening. Add remainder of the wet ingredients, then add the dry ingredients. Scoop into muffin tin. Makes 1 dozen regular sized muffins. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
