Cork Coasters

This was a Pinterest inspired project. I think I can safely say it was a success!

Simply collect a bunch of corks (which was easy for me since we drink lots of wine around here ). Cut them to the thickness you want (I did about 3/4 inch). Hot glue them together in circles then wrap them in any ribbon you desire.
I have enough corks left to make about 2 more coasters but it has become one of those “filler” projects I do between other ones. As I have a few minutes then I go cut some coaster…. till I have another one made.
Now, where’s my glass of wine???

Banana Chocolate Cake

If I have not mentioned this cookbook before, I really need to. It is our absolute favorite dessert book!

This banana chocolate cake came from this book  and it is AMAZING! If you like banana bread and chocolate, this is the cake for you. The only thing I would change is to add some pecans to the batter and maybe a few on top in a pretty design. We brought it to a friends house for dinner last night and they love it too. Pretty sure the whole thing is GONE in less than 24 hours! lol
