Easy Cake Mix Banana Bread

Here's a recipe for one of the easiest banana breads to bake using real bananas.

 In my opinion, this banana bread tastes better than the boxed dry mix version.

 This is so delicious!!!!

Ingredients:
3-4 Bananas
1 Box Dry Yellow Cake Mix
2 Eggs
Optional: 1/2 cup nuts or chocolate chips

Mash the bananas in a large bowl
Mix in the dry cake mix and eggs.
Stir in the nuts or chocolate chips, if desired.
Pour in loaf pan, greased and floured.

Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes.

*Note: It is generally recommended that you use overripe bananas for this recipe.
I use ripe (yellow) bananas, and bake it for closer to 50 minutes.
It is so delicious, considering how easy it is to make.

Let me know if you've tried it.  I'd like to hear how yours turns out.

DIY Rosette Bracelet

Here's another way to use handmade rosettes.
Make bracelets!

I upcycled a child's sweatshirt to make pink roses.
Then I took the sweatshirt cuff, which was stretchy,
and attached the roses all the way around the cuff.
This made two easy and cute bracelets!

You will see them pictured below.
My daughters had the idea of using the
bracelets as doll accessories.
Great idea!
