If you had asked me if I knew what sunbutter was just a few years ago, I would have had no idea what you were talking about. I certainly wouldn't have known how to make my own! However, after realizing that one of my kids is allergic to nuts we dived into the nut-free world and were introduced to sunbutter. Sunbutter is great. It tastes almost like peanut butter, so much so that even I don't mind using it. Having this nut free alternative means I can allow my son to enjoy some of the funner things in life like

This week we celebrated Choose Respect Day at our school to combat bullying. It was a very powerful day which included Choose Respect t-shirts for everyone, a wonderful play put on by the Grade 6 class (I definitely teared up it was so great!), and a few adorable, thoughtful crafts! Check out the picts below! Students had to brainstorm positive ways to be respectful and decorate their t-shirt with them. Also, we made handprints with a cross in the middle. Black tempura paint, white acrylic paint, flourescent pink paper and squares of black construction paper were all that was required. They turned out beautifully. Thankfully, I had a lot of help with the hand print portion! Black paint is hard to get off! Thanks to the amazing crew of teachers and staff at St. Joseph School! We are an amazing team! This coming Monday my little nutty crew:) is in charge of the assembly. Our virtue is perseverance! It's a BIG word for grade 1 but they pull it off! We created some I Can poetry and read with the proper tone it is really cute!! I CAN paint. I can't read hard books, YET!! I can dance, I can ride my bike. I can sing. I can't whistle, yet!!

This is just a little hint as to what we have been up to for Career Day! More pictures and ideas to come in the next post! Stay tuned!!!

I have been buying bananas at the grocery store each and every week for the past few months. I have been waiting for some extra bananas to be sitting on the counter at the end of the week, but they have been getting eaten up . . . so, last week I bought extra bananas on purpose. I had no intention of eating these bananas. All I wanted was some warm banana bread. I used one of my favorite Banana Muffin Recipes and adapted it slightly with the ingredients I had in my fridge. I love this recipe because it makes a light and tender bread and who doesn't love a buttery sweet streusel topping. Plus, it has some wheat flour in it, less butter and slightly less sugar (even with the streusel topping) than a lot of banana bread recipes. You could even cut back on the sugar in the streusel topping if you would like. If you have any ripe bananas sitting on your counter, you should make this for Breakfast tomorrow morning. Banana Bread with Crunchy Streusel Topping From: Jenn@eatcakefordinner (Printable Recipe) or (Printable Recipe) 1 c. all-purpose flour 1/2 c. wheat flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 c. mashed bananas (2 1/2 - 3 bananas) 5 Tbl. unsalted butter, melted 3/4 c. sugar 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 c. buttermilk Streusel Topping 1/3 c. light brown sugar 2 Tbl. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 Tbl. cold unsalted butter Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and buttermilk until smooth. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir together until just combined. Pour batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. For the topping: Combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and using your clean hands, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles wet sand. Sprinkle topping over loaf. Bake for 42-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top begins to get too brown, tent a piece of foil over the top while it finishes baking. SaveSave
