I don’t have much time to talk today- we’ve had a birthday party this evening, and we’ve got our Purim party tonight. We’re all dressing up-it should be lots of fun!
I’m looking forward to trying this awesome Stem Stitch demo from over at Kootoyoo soon as well. At the moment I really just stick with back stitch! I found her site via this week’s Blog This blog round-up, it’s all about craft- one of my favourite topics!
In the mean time, I’ll leave you with this awesome Banana Bread recipe I’ve got in the oven as we speak:
Banana bread
A simple and practical way of putting to use some over ripe bananas and cheering up a cup of tea!
You will need:
4-5 tbs reduced-fat canola spread (I used one of those Dairy Spreads)
2 eggs
150g sugar ?(I used sugar subtitute- and measured it in cups etc, because the weights are different!)
2 or 3 ripe bananas? (I used 4)
150g plain flour
¾ tsp salt? (Didn’t measure this…)
½ tsp bi-carbonate soda (or this…)
¼ tsp baking powder (or this…)
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Combine bananas, butter, eggs and sugar in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until you create a paste.
In a seperate bowl, combine flour, salt, bicarb soda, and baking powder.
Add both mixtures together, and stir until smooth. ?(I just put them all in the same bowl… didn’t quite understand why I would need two bowls for this??!! Just seems like more washing up to me…)
At this point you can add half a cup of either chopped nuts, or dried fruits such as walnuts or chopped dried figs. ?(Didn’t add any of this…)
Pour mixture into a lightly oiled standard size loaf tin and bake in pre-heated oven for approximately 50 minutes. Insert a cake skewer into middle of loaf until it comes out clean.
It’s now sitting in my oven looking like this… and if you cut this baby into 30 pieces it’s 1 Weight Watchers point per piece!
Rating to come!
