Buttermilk Banana Bread


I was really surprised to see I had never posted this recipe! I took a recipe that was not bad and made it perfect, at least in my opinion. This banana bread is moist inside, but with the brown sugar on top, crunchy on the outside. Sometimes I add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the recipe just for something new, but you can make it plain as well. Good recipe to have as a staple in your recipe book!

Banana Bread

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 average bananas)
8 Tbsps buttermilk
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
dash baking soda

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to banana mixture. Mix until combined. Divide batter into greased and flour bread pans, sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. This recipe makes two large loaves of banana bread.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!
