Bananas TO Bread!

I bought a ton of bananas (they were really really really on sale).  Some of them were going bad so I decided to make a bread... Super moist and super yummy and super easy!

Ingredients: 

• 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup to 1  cup sugar (experiment, I used 3/4 cup)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Directions: 
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F. With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 min (depending on your oven). Enjoy!

Its In the Detials

2012 Summer Priorities!  

Its always easier to accomplish things when you make a check list.  I make a checklist every morning before starting work (SIM) to eliminate forgetting important tasks, prior to the grocery store to help me stay focused so I do not only buy sweets, for errands so I can get them done quickly, etc. etc... basically, I make a lot of checklists!  Sometimes going as far as adding things I already did, just to check them off... haha!  This morning, inspired by Cupcakes and Cashmere I decided to make a FUN based checklist for a great way to kickoff to the 2012 Summer that is just around the corner.
