Banana Muffins
This week I made these yummy Banana Muffins. They are perfect for lunch boxes and snacks and can be frozen too. I wanted to come up with a recipe using banana as, as I mentioned before, we are trying to save money using Fun, Cheap or Free’s Budget Boot Camp. One of the things we’ve been focusing on is how much we spend on our food shopping every week. I’ve been making a meal plan each week to prevent buying things that we won’t use and to avoid waste. That’s why when I had some bananas left over that had gone brown I peeled them and chucked them in the freezer. So this week I wanted to get them used up and these Banana Muffins are what I came up with.

Now I’ve used up the bananas that I usually would of just chucked in the bin (wasteful I know) and I have snacks for the next few days and some in the freezer to defrost and eat at a later date.
Apart from our frugal living, January has been a pretty quiet month for us. Mason is enjoying being back at school, we’ve been trying to set him some chores lately for him to learn to have some responsibilities and earn a little bit of pocket money. He thinks he is very important to have to do his jobs every morning. 😀 Noa is six months old today, it makes me want to cry at how fast it has gone. She sat up on her own for the first time this week and we will be properly starting her weaning journey very soon.
