Broads On The Bake, Banana Bread

  Who doesn't have the bowl of bananas on the kitchen table? 

Bananas are a favorite in my household.  As quickly as I buy, they're gone.  Once in awhile, though, we allow them to ripen that one day too many, and no one will eat them.   Here's the best recipe I've found.

Three Way Banana Bread

 
Ingredients

*  1/2 cup Butter Flavored Crisco or butter

*  1 cup sugar

*  2 eggs

*  1 1/2 cup mashed, rip bananas - 4 medium

*  1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice

*  2 cup unsifted flour

*  1 teaspoon baking soda

*  1/2 teaspoon salt

*  1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

*  1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

*  1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in eggs.  Stir in banana and lemon juice.  Mix together flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and rind; blend into creamed mixture.  Stir in nuts.

For bread - Turn into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 55 min.  Cool.

For muffins - Spoon into 24 greased muffin cups.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Cool.

For coffee cake - Turn into greased 9" square pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until cake is done.  Slice two bananas and arrange slices over top of cake.  Sprinkle with a topping of :
*  1/2 cup packed brown sugar
*  2 tablespoons butter (melted)
*  1/4 cup flaked coconut

Broil for 2 minutes or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned.

Enjoy!

Ahh, vacation...

     Well, I did it.  I survived my first family vacation.  I'm pretty sure I have a little less hair and an eye tic, but dammit, I'm  alive!!        Yes, we have taken little vacations in the past.  My grandparents had a cottage on a lake about 2 hours from here and we'd go for long weekends, but this was different.  This was the 9 hour drive-stay in a hotel kind of vacation.   Everyone better thank their lucky stars it was on the beach, too.  No shoes makes Mommy a happy girl.        While I was somewhat mollified by the "Yay! No Shoes!" thing, the planning and keeping in-line of the entire family and their things was slightly less enjoyable than stepping on legos in your bare feet...in the dark....while sick. Yeah, for me, it's like that.            As my dearest sister Moira can attest, I am not up for any organizational aw...

Grab your current read Open to a random page Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure what you share does not give too much away!

Hi, All!  I've been absent the last two weeks, catching up on my reading.  Now I've got a new teaser to share.   Mina reviewed one of Katie MacAlister's books awhile back, and that review left me eager to search out this author.  When I saw this title, I had to give it a try.  One hilarious escapade after another, Men In Kilts is sure to elicit a giggle even from the staunchest of readers.  If you like humor sprinkled throughout your romance once in awhile, this is ...
