I'm a full-time mummy

This is my 5th VeggieTales DVD review after "Little Ones Can Do Big Things Too!", "The Penniless Princess - God’s Little Girl", "God Loves You Very Much" and "If I Sang a Silly Song". We are a big fan of VeggieTales after the first few DVDs (and I also bought another DVD from our church bookstore as well, so yeah, we are a fan!) Anyway, here is my review:

DVD synopsis:

"This set contains VeggieTales’ entire Christmas collection. Now your family can enjoy classic holiday shows The Toy That Saved Christmas—a lesson in giving; The Star of Christmas—a lesson in how to love; Saint Nicholas—a story in joyful giving; It's a Meaningful Life—a lesson in being content; and The Little Drummer Boy—a story about hope, love and forgiveness. Also included in the collection is the VeggieTales: Christmas Sing-along Songs DVD and 25 Favorite Christmas Songs! CD."

What an awesome collection of Christmas songs and tales! We totally love it! What more can you ask for?! When I first started playing this DVD on my laptop, my 2 kiddos are still playing around, running around in the playroom, and then the first song came on and they both sat right in front of my latop, glued to the screen, not moving. Wow, mesmerising sight! The songs in the DVD are catchy and cute as well and yes, we danced along to it too!

In summary, I like the lessons to be learned, to be happy with what you have, to love one another and also forgiveness. I have been instilling and reminding my 3.5 years old boy on the importance of forgiving and teaching him how to forgive and move on and not hold any grudge or be angry at the past. This is one DVD collection that you must have!!

You can get this DVD at VeggieTales store or any outlets that sell it.

I first tried this recipe a few months back after seeing some leftover very ripe bananas on our kitchen counter and I decided to bake a banana bread. Turns out hubby likes it so much and asked why I never bake this before... oh wow, I don't know he is a big fan of banana bread... I baked it few more times since then, and the previous baking was sampled by my sister in law and her daughter who commented it is so delicious (I still don't believe them though!).

Just yesterday, hubby told me he bought some bananas and mentioned ever so gently (aka hinting) that I could use the bananas to make banana bread. Oh-kay... I get the hint, man!

Now I am so sorry I can't find back the original source for this recipe but oh well, for my 4th attempt today, I've tweaked it to include chocolate chips in the banana bread and since my best buddy's boyfriend commented the other day that I have not been posting recipes stuff on my blog for some time now, I think it's high time I slot in a recipe post in my blog now hahaha... So here it goes:

PREPARATION TIME: ABOUT HALF AN HOUR

Ingredients / Tool Required:

What to Do?

* Sliced the bananas based on your preferance, you can also mash bananas with fork until smooth but I prefer ours to have the bananas chunks ;)
* Combine with all other ingredients and mix until smooth.
* Pour into a large greased loaf pan (I use olive oil to grease the loaf pan)

BAKING PROCESS

 

REACTIONS FROM MY "GUINEA PIGS"

ME	"Wow! The crust is a bit hard but then the crunchiness gives the bread some oomphff! The color is a bit too chocolatey since this time I added chocolate chips but overall, not bad!"
BEN & ALYSON	"Mmmm somemoreeeeeee!"
HUBBY	"MMmmmm... Taste like fruit cake!"

So there you go.... my BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD recipe!
