My idea of a perfect Saturday

After trip to the 'hood Farmers' Market and a few accidental cracked eggs from Urban Patchwork, Cruz and I made some fresh buttermilk and bluberry tart, with the help of a special friend.

I'm not sure what brought more pleasure: the delicious and refreshing fruit tart or the look of joy on Cruz' face as he made his own little pie and ate it!

Banana Oatmeal Carrot Muffins

I once had a ton of carrots and overripe bananas. What could I make with this? Thanks to google, it seems there is a recipe out there for anything. I added "oatmeal" in the search terms and voila!

I usually double everything but the sugar to make one huge batch. Cruz BEGS for these in the morning.
