B-A-N-A-N-A-S

So I have been in this strange mood for about the last 2 months. I normally dont like banana's but for some reason I have had a taste for them lately. I usually eat one with peanut butter for breakfast. On Friday I had a craving for banana nut bread and the recipe I used was soo simple!

3 ripe banana's
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Peel and mash the banana's in a large bowl. Add eggs and mix well. Add sugar and mix well. In a separate bowl mix flour, soda, and salt. The recipe I used said to sift into the bowl but I just threw them in there and then stirred them with a whisk and it did fine! Add your dry ingredients to you wet and mix well. It will be more of a batter consistency than a dough. I then added about 1 cup of pecans to the entire batter and poured half of it into one loaf pan. Then I took mini chocolate chips and added enough to my liking to the second half of the batter and poured it into my second loaf pan. I baked at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until the toothpick came clean.

I must say the chocolate chip banana nut bread is my favorite!

What happens when...

What happens when your two dogs get in a fight over a toy while sitting on either side of you and the laptop is in your lap?



Yes, that is my laptop...with its 5 keys missing. Granted the "R" was already gone...Chloe did that by herself. But, Chloe and Hershey were fighting over a toy and the above picture is the result of said argument. Guess what my tax refund will be purchasing me this year?

He is a very sweet boy! We are still working on a few things and how to share but for the most part all of the dogs get along very well!
