Made this great tasting banana bread the other day and just had to log it here for easy access. There are always a couple bananas in the bunch that try to make it into the trash. Not on my watch! Ate a little for a late night snack then wrapped it up for breakfast with some coffee.

Best Basic Banana Bread

stolen from Simply Recipes

Ingredients
2-3 ripe bananas (starting to brown even)
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 c. sugar
pinch of salt
1 beaten egg
1 t. vanilla extract
1 t. baking soda
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and prepare 4×8 loaf pan (butter and flour dusted). In a medium/large mixing bowl mash the bananas together then add melted butter and mix. Start adding/mixing in some of the dry ingredients, baking soda, salt, sugar. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Finally add in the flour and pour into prepared pan. Bake for about an hour, check after 50 minutes. Done when a toothpick is pulled out clean. Let cool on rack, if you can wait that long. You can do all this with a fork or whisk, no need for electric mixer but no harm either.

It fits J perfectly and her personality too.

This is one of the few little gifts I got J for our 7th anniversary. I’m cheesy in the fact that I strictly go by the traditional/historical gifts for that specific year. Seven years is copper or wool so I ended up getting a little of both. The copper pine cone necklace from Enchanted Leaves is super earthy/hippy. It arrived quickly and in a neato stamped envelope. The necklace was wrapped up in a little mesh bag and they also tossed in a little owl button. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a nice gift for a loved one or yourself. Still waiting on the wools to arrive.

Our pomegranate tree is in full effect and we are enjoying the fruits of it’s labor. It was so cool to watch the growing process all year long. The beautiful red flowers actually turn into the fruit itself. I guess a lot of things fruit like this but it was all new to me.

Came across this band today No Joy. Song starts picking up about 0:40.
