Dear anybody who is nice enough to view this blog:

I'm not going to claim to be a cook, baker, whatever. I like to make treats, and I'm slowly getting into cooking meals. There are two main purposes for this blog: 1) I think it will inspire me to cook/bake more often, and 2) I like when people share recipes with me, so I figured this would be a fun way to share the recipes that I like.

I hope you like some of the recipes I find. Also, I would love you forever if you shared your favorite recipes with me. Remember, cooking newbie here. Thanks!

banana bread

When it comes to baking, most everyone has something that they feel like is their "thing." Banana bread is my thing. I really like making it, and a lot of people really like eating it. :) Hopefully, you will too. It's not too hard to make — come on, if I can do it, you can too.


Ingredients:
1 cup of sugar
half a tsp. of salt
1 tsp. of baking soda
2 1/4 cups of flour
1 cube of butter
2 eggs
4 mashed bananas
1 cup of chocolate chips
generous splash of cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
generous splash of vanilla
dash of brown sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325˚
2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together first.
3. Add the eggs, butter, mashed bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and chocolate chips. (side note: mix the bananas in one or two at a time.)
4. Put the mixture in a bread pan or muffin tins.
5. If you want to, sprinkle sugar on top — gives a little sparkle. :)
6. If your baking in a bread pan, it'll take about an hour. If you using muffin tins, 30 to 35 minutes.
