Preschool and Dessert


Looking at the class pet. A bunny named Dutch.

Picture of the first day of school.

Helping cut the bananas for our dessert.

It is amazing that as I look at the calendar it is almost October and the first quarter of school is almost finished. Crazy where the time goes. Ava has been at preschool now for 3 weeks and she loves it. Sarah and I had a conference with her teacher on Friday (that is the first time I have been on the other side of that table). The teacher was very impressed with how personal and comfortable Ava was around kids and adults she didn't know. She does a great job listening and raising her hand in class. Sarah and I are very proud of her.
After a trying weekend Ava and I decided we needed to make something. Sarah saw something on Rachel Ray that looked good and easy to make. We call them upside down banana monkey bread. Ava helped me make them and they were absolutely delicious. The bananas tasted like candy when they were done. Here is the recipe:

Upside Down Banana Monkey Bread
Pour honey into the bottom of each muffin tin
Put 1-2 slices of cut banana in each tin.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
On top of banana/honey put one Pillsbury dinner roll (from the can)
Place in oven at 400 degrees until biscuit is golden brown.
Over turn muffin tin on to sheet pan and enjoy
