It's that time of the year, so preheat

[EPandAmerica]

the oven to 350 degrees F and bake something scrumptious!

Here is the recipe that I tried out this morning.

Banana Nut Bread

* 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour * 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1/4 cup butter
* 1/2 teaspoon salt * 3 bananas mashed
* 1 cup sugar * 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts

(I also added a dash of vanilla and cinnamon.)

Grease two 7x3 inch loaf pans.

In one bowl, whisk together flour, soda, salt and sugar. Mix in slightly beaten eggs, soft butter and mashed bananas and nuts as desired.

Pour into pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.





Who's next? Post your favorite cool weather recipe!

mmmmmmmm, banana nut bread. I would kill for some of my Mommy's banana nut bread.

 

[Bonochick]

Dad and I used to make banana nut bread all the time when I was little.

I'm not much of a cook though...I don't have any recipes! I could post Dad's recipe for his Christmas cookies...but nobody can make those cookies like Dad can, so why bother?

 

[Sicy]

I'm going to make cookies for me and baby.

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm...banana nut bread

I get cold really easily so I just put on woolly socks and drink lactose-free hot chocolate....mmm, lactose free.

I can't think of any recipes off the top of my head, but I know warm apple pie is to die for.

How dare they not keep such an important staple in excess during these cold months...what's next? No potatoes in the summer for potato salad?

 

[famous rungi]

Cooked fruit, yuk.

Hot soups are great for cool weather.

Bovril + boiled water = Mmm.

[TripThruUreWires]

uhh...you're obviously not residing in Singapore right now.

i think i will just be sticking my head in the freezer while ya'll are eating warm, baked goodies

it sucks too, because i'm used to a cold winter, and being able to savor the taste of a freshly baked pies, breads, cookies, etc.

 

[famous rungi]

Think of it this way, Trip. We don't have laksa, or tom yum soup, or roti prata, or cendol, or ice kachang!

and you're obviously not living in south dakota now.

so yeah, no more "going places" for me...for...a few days at least.

 

[TripThruUreWires]

somehow i am not comforted foray *shrug*

and you're obviously not living in south dakota now.

i believe the trite saying goes something like, "the grass is greener on the other side" (not that i would even be able to see signs of grass on your side of the fence )

i would much rather be trapped in by a snowstorm than filling 20 buckets plus with my sweat every single time i step outside into this God forsaken weather.

 

[Lilly]

agreed.



I'm only mad cos I can't get the CD until Friday now.
