Summer's guests....

....were happy to have this for their enjoyment!

Assorted muffins!

Those blueberries have really been enjoyed, though there is one other project I have in mind.  That will be for another day and another post.:-)  I've featured the muffins on the blog before, but also on this plate are Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins!  Yum!:-)

CHOCOLATE CHIP SOUR CREAM BANANA BREAD
1/2 cup butter
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1 cup mini-chocolate chips
1/2 cup sour cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar.  Mix in eggs and vanilla.  Gradually add dry ingredients.  Stir in mashed bananas, nuts, chocolate chips, and sour cream.  Divide into two greased loaf pans (8x4) and bake for 1 hour.  
I used part of the batter to make a dozen muffins and used the remaining batter for only one loaf pan. I really had to scurry to get a picture before the plate was emptied!

This recipe comes from a wonderful little book called Just Family Favorites - Holiday Recipes and More..  It is from a Christmas at Home series, so I suppose you could say we had "Christmas in July!":-) 

 Plate - designed by Susan Branch for Lenox "A Proper Tea"
