Let's Bake!

So holiday season = baking season in my home and although this isn't your typical festive Christmas cookies, I had a bunch of extra bananas sitting around that were about to go bad so I thought I would dig up an older recipe for banana bread that I absolutely love but often forget about. It is so yummy that I thought I would share. Happy Baking!!

PS- For all you old Falls Churchers...and specifically Cornerstoners, this is Lolly Taylor's recipe and let me just tell you, it is D-lish!! I think the sour cream makes it :)


Banana Bread

2/3 C butter, softened
1 1/2 C sugar
2 eggs
4 Tbsp sour cream
1 C (3-4) mashed bananas
1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla

Cream butter, sugar, and eggs. Add bananas. Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl, then add to creamed mixture, a little at a time. Add sour cream and vanilla. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 300 for 1 1/4 hours, or until tester comes out clean.

Makes one loaf. Freezes well.

Mind Your Manners

As the twins have become more and more verbal, we have tried to take them from grunting at us to actually saying "please" and "thank you" when they want something or get something. It started out as much more of just a noise (like thank you was "hmm hmm") but recently, Jackson's thank you has just gotten so darn cute that I had to share.

Hope you're remembering to mind your manners too :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
