by: Mrs. Castodio (5th grade teacher) If you know me, you know that I have a BIG sweet tooth and chocolate chip cookies are my favorite sweet treat! When my husband and I got married last year, our friends gifted us a cookbook that they wrote themselves, called The New Newlywed Cookbook. As I was flipping through, this recipe caught my eye and it was the first one I made. I used two mini skillets so that I could have my own warm, gooey cookie skillet all to myself! It is a fun way to change up your traditional chocolate chip cookie dessert and is so delicious with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: Quarantine Edition
by: Ms. Cipolla (Second Grade Teacher) During this period of quarantine, flour was hard to come by, and we had a lot of ripe bananas to use up! We decided to try out a few new recipes for flour-less banana bread, and this one was our favorite. Although the original recipe calls for nut/seed butter, and coconut palm sugar, we swapped in regular butter and sugar as that was what we had on hand. We also did not have baking soda, but did have baking powder, so if you also have the same predicament: modify the recipe by adding 2 tsp of baking powder (and no baking soda) for the same delicious creation!
