Banana Bread Recipe

Hình ảnh
I was asked this morning if I knew any tricks for Banana Bread or had a recipe and of course my answer was yes. ^_~ So, here I am, posting it for a dear friend, as well as anyone else that wants it. It is a very simple recipe and I my favorite thing about it is that I don't have to wait for overly ripe bananas. I have made this with fresh out of the store bananas and ones that are sickeningly ripe. Each time it comes out perfectly. Now, this recipe is not originally mine. I will admit the base recipe is from a 1970's Betty Crocker Cookbook I picked up over a decade ago in a used bookstore. It is my holy grail, lol. I have made some alterations to the recipe that I very much enjoy and I hope you will as well. Now for the pictures of this recipe I did not use Walnuts in this batch. If you don't like walnuts but have another nut you enjoy, go for it. heck dump dried fruit in there, chocolate chips, what ever. Enjoy it! Here we go! 1 Cup Sugar 1/3 Cup Margarine 2 Eggs 2 Cup Mas

Finally am able to sit down for a few and post about my daughters birthday party! YAY! Most of this will just be quick pictures but at the end will be links to other Harry Potter posts I have made to help you cast your own Wizard Worthy party as well as links that I used to pull this off!

Well the party is over and everything went great. I am still going through pictures and such but I figured I would make another post and how to. This is how to make your own Sorting Hat. This is very fast. Look at the pictures for reference. Feel free to ask questions if you got them. ^_^ What you will need: Needle Thread Old Bed sheet or piece of cloth Poster Board Cheap Witch Hat Stapler Water Scissors White Glue Spray Paint - Brown Textured and Black Flat Take the old witch hat and cut off the top part. Keep the rim. Take your poster board and just it into a circle as big as you want the rim. Cut out the center larger than the inside of the witch hat. Staple the poster board to the rim. Cut 2 triangles from your cloth - different sizes but with enough bottom to go around the inner rim of the hat.  Sew the side together of the triangles, leaving the bottom open. Sew this to the rim to remake the hat. Mix 2 parts glue to 1 part water and dip the hat top in. String up the hat and let i
