A Bunch of Bananas...

So what do you do when LIFE gives you bananas? 

You make Banana Pumpkin Bread and Muffins...of course!

 

Foodie Friday: Bobbi's Cranberry Orange Muffins

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man...you can sure tell that I’m feeling better…because I’ve been cooking up a storm (and shopping for all the ingredients as well ;)  The cold weather is making me want warm, comfort foods.  However, I’m also taking our HEALTH into consideration so I am trying to make sure that most of the ingredients are organic and better food choices.  This recipe is one that I recently found on another foodie’s blog, Olla-Podrida.  Pattie and I often see recipe to recipe and we both appreciate our families’ favorites that have been passed down from one family member to the next.  As was the case for her recipe called Willie’s Orange Bread that was one of her Grandmother’s favorite quick breads from the 70’s.

After reading Pattie’s recipe, I printed it and saved for a day when I’d feel like baking. You know it’s really cold when I start baking…because I’m not a big baker…that’s because I don’t crave sugar!  Weird I know…but my vise is anything salty and crunchy.   Muffins are as sweet as I get!  I simply adapted a few of the recipe’s ingredients and came up with another great muffin recipe to add to my family’s archives..
