Fried Honey Cinnamon Bananas

     The other day for Liam's birthday I made him some Birthday Waffles, for the adults I used the same base for the batter, omitting the sprinkles.  To make them more adult friendly, I toasted up some walnuts, fried up some bacon, and made some of these Honey Cinnamon Bananas.  I loaded up the Belgium Waffle with everything and even a little real maple syrup.  Oh it was A-MAZ-ING!

Recipe from Rachel Schultz

What you need:

1 slightly under-ripened banana (sliced)

1 TBsp honey

Cinnamon

Olive oil or coconut oil

How to make them:

Lightly drizzle the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Arrange banana slices in pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile, whisk together honey and 1 Tbsp of water.

Remove pan from heat and pour the honey mixture over the bananas.

Allow to cool and sprinkle with cinnamon then ENJOY!

Liam's 6th Birthday

     The night before Liam's 6th birthday my mom and I set up a little surprise for Liam when he woke up!  He was pretty surprised!

I made some special Birthday Waffles for Liam and we all sang him Happy Birthday!

After breakfast, he got to open some more presents!

More Skylanders, of course!

After lunch we headed out to Chuck E. Cheese for some fun!

It was even more special since my parents,

 MeeMaw & PapPaw, were in town to celebrate his birthday with us!

After a long and fun day, we all enjoyed some leftover Skylanders Portal Cupcakes!

Happy Happy Birthday my sweet little Liam! 

I can't believe you are 6!

Wishing you many more fun filled years Big Boy!

We love you oh so very much!
