"Bread"
In addition to all the other wonderful (and more motherly) things I’m looking forward to when our little one arrives— like that freshly bathed baby smell, the adorable coos and sighs, and the eventual chunky baby thighs— I am looking forward to getting my drink on again.
It’s a little sad how much I’ve missed alcohol these past 9 months. And when I saw a banana bread recipe that included not only chocolate and walnuts, but a healthy dose of bourbon as well, I was immediately on board.
Many times rolls and breads are an afterthought of a meal, something to serve just because. I, however, would be okay with a meal that consisted only of bread, but that’s just me. Forget everything else, I love my carbs.
If you are leaning more towards that first category, have I got a recipe for you. Not only will these cheese popovers be a delight along with almost any meal, they may just steal the show.
If any of you are under the impression that bread pudding is boring, dull, and something that you do not like, let me kindly tell you that you are wrong. And I beg you to let me change your mind.
Sure, not all bread puddings are created equal and no one likes a bland soggy bowl of it. But when it’s done just right, with a crisp exterior and sponge-like custard interior, it’s magical. Bread pudding, in my opinion, is the macaroni and cheese of dessert. It’s homey, comforting, and extremely satisfying.
Thanksgiving weekend was wonderful for me for many reasons. Of course, there was the fabulous feast of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, all smothered with gravy. I spent time with family, and also did a lot of staying in with my husband. Per tradition we also got a Christmas tree and put up the decorations.
Our weekend was fueled by a lot of treats that I couldn’t seem to stop baking. Pies, cookies, rolls, toffee, and cranberry orange cinnamon rolls. Obviously my sweet tooth enjoyed all of it, but I think the cinnamon rolls were my favorite.
Here’s a simple recipe while we’re all recovering from our Thanksgiving turkey hangovers. It’s a recipe I’ve had on this site for a while, but I thought it was due for an update as I’ve changed a few things over the years. It’s still my favorite banana bread recipe by a long shot, and every time I make it I wonder why I don’t make it on a weekly basis.
