summertime saturdays.4
Saturday, July 12, 2008Banana's that look like this in our house, mean one thing.
Banana bread. I have my mothers recipe, that I have always made. But this morning, I tried Heather's recipe. And wow. It is a keeper.
I doubled the recipe, except for the banana's. (I only had three.) And made one with nuts. One without.
We slathered it with cream cheese. And ate almost both loaves.
I then slathered the kids with sunscreen, so they could all go to the pool. I think this is the first time I have been home alone since school was out. What to do? The possibilities are endless.
Enjoy your Saturday.....and the rest of the weekend.

ReplyDeleteOoooo, what to do, what to do. Choose carefully! (The pressure is on, heehee.)
ReplyDeleteI love banana bread and make it quite often. One loaf goes so quickly in our house though, especially when it's still warm.
ReplyDeleteoooh so yummy! I have been craving some banana bread in the worst way. I never thought to put cream cheese on them. Hope you enjoyed your free time!

I hope your Saturday was wonderful and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteLove the seed stitch throw...

ReplyDeleteBanana bread is so tasty. What a great way to use up bananas that have started to head out the door.
ReplyDeleteTime alone, heavenly, enjoy the opportunity.
ooh! a day alone in the house! sounds like bliss.
ReplyDeleteyour saturday mornings are so delightful.
My husband makes banana bread every Christmas...only he also puts in chopped up marrachino cherries and chocolate chips and bakes them in soup cans. You clean the cans of course and slather the insides with either cooking spray or whatever else you might use to grease pans. Fill them 2/3 full and bake as directed in recipe...but watch them and test for doneness with a toothpick. VERY yummy and family expects this every year!!! They're pretty too cute into "rounds"!!!
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks delicious. I tried your strawberry tart recipe, it was easy and yummy. Everyone loved it! Thank You.
ReplyDeleteyum....my fave!!!
ReplyDeleteYummy !
ReplyDeleteI baked banana cake, before, havent yet bake the bread. Love it.
H, I have been vising your blog for some time now, and just love it. But, I have to ask....where did you get your wood plate/bowls? I love them!
ReplyDeleteI recently started reading your blog...your posts are so nice. Thank you for sharing the banana recipe. I forget how easy it is to make esp with bananas that get ripe so quickly during summer days!
ReplyDeleteI love banana cake, so nice just out of the oven with creme fraiche!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures took me back about a decade - my boys used to love banana bread, with butter and honey. They haven't eaten it for ages though.
ReplyDeleteI made a banana bread this weekend too - using my mom's recipe. It is the best way to use bananas! I hope you enjoyed your alone time - a rare thing with kids home in summer!
ReplyDeleteI made banana bread last week using my mother-in-law's recipe and wow...it was really delicious. I had forgotten how much I like it. I am going to try cream cheese on it next time. I bet it is wonderful.
ReplyDeletehope you had some enjoyable alone time.
looks yummy. I have a recipe that you use sour cream in it and we add choc chips with the bananas, SOOOO good. I think will have to make a loaf or two this week.
ReplyDeleteBanana bread is on my list for today-yum!
ReplyDeletebanana bread questions:
ReplyDelete>Your oven: gas or electric?
>Your bread pan: what is it made of (glass, metal, silicone)?
My husband uses pyrex pans in a gas oven and the bottom is always over cooked :-(
that right there is the only reason that I LOVE funky bananas! Your bread looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love love love banana bread! Yummy pics!
ReplyDeleteThe company uses termite spray powder, which kills them all the time and is fed in many places, whether open or closed, which works to get rid of termites.
