Banana Bread


Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour 
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs 
2 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon buttermilk 
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup walnuts, chopped.

Alright so, first things first - grab a bowl and mix together all your dry ingredients.  Make sure it's all tossed together.  Also make sure you measure your flour properly. It matters. 

In a separate bowl, mash up your bananas.

Once you've gotten them mashed, add in your eggs and whisk it all up.   Go ahead and add  in the oil, buttermilk, and vanilla, too. 

Grab that flour mixture and slowly mix it into the wet stuff.  Small increments, and make sure it's all combined well before adding more. 

Once it's all mixed, go ahead and fold in those chopped walnuts.  Give it a good stir a couple times.  

Now let's divide this batter between two loaf pans.  Grease 'em up real good.  I like to take a strip of parchment paper and line the bottom with some of the sides hanging over. It makes it easy to get it out, but if you dont have parchment paper, dont stress.  

Bake those loaves at 325 for 80 minutes.  Time varies based on oven, obviously   Start checking around the 80 mark.  You want a knife to come out clean, and those loaves to have a gorgeous dark brown crust.  They'll be a beaut. 

Once they're done, let them cool and slice em up.  Be warned, this shit is delicious and you'll eat it all.

Snow days

Justin surprised us the other day by coming home a few hours early during the snow storm.   Ezra was the happiest.  He loves the snow so much.  Downside to city living is that we have no yard, but the plus side is we live super close to a park so it even out. 

Sunflower field

Sunday visits to sunflower fields have become an annual September tradition.  For fun, I made a comparison of last year vs this year.  And also, the picture from the first time Justin and I went to a sunflower field. (Fun fact: We had to leave because I was sick.  Turns out, that was the beginning of morning sickness.  So Ez was technically in that picture too)

Ezra's first beach trip

We took a day trip down to Delaware so Ezra could visit the beach for the first time.  I don't  think I've ever seen him so happy.
