~Baking; Banana Bread~

The Love of Food...and Baking, but mostly Food.

 It has been a while since the oven has been used for baking, but tonight is the first night in a long time we have not had something planned. We are usually getting home from work on Fridays, showering and running out the door. I am catching myself tip toeing around the house, hoping Brian doesn't come up with a plan for tonight, because my plan is sitting my butt on the couch and finding a movie. The baking begins..

I got the recipe for the Banana Bread from bettycrocker.com. This is the first time I made banana bread so I just did a search on Google and this one had the most amount of stars. Note to self: Buy a mixer asap. I had to do all the blending by hand with a spoon and hand beater, so the prep part took a little longer than expected.

It smelled so good whille I was prepping, that I had to taste it! ;) So after all the mashing and mixing it was time to put them in the oven.

The cook time was an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. So time to eat our dinner which was pizza and french fries, yummm! I was craving pizza all week so why not have it on our cheat day.

 After some pizza I got a change to catching up with a great friend and her two beautiful baby girls via Skype. What a great invention, I have not seen her in forever and yet to meet her girls so it was nice to chat it up with her and the little ones.

So the buzzer rings on the oven...

  

and "bam" master piece..

Well maybe not a prize winner but I am very happy with the final result. Only thing I would change is less flour. The recipe called for 2 and 1/2 cups, I would probably just go with 2 cups.

 I'm eating it as I write this blog, and Brians asleep on the couch so my hope for a night in and a movie might actually happen!!! =)
