Hello! So, uh, it's been...a while. I've been busy. And, to be honest, I haven't been in my kitchen at all! Well, ok, I've been in my kitchen, but mostly to just fix some cereal, make some Kraft spiral mac-n-cheese, or to get something to drink. Oh, and once I microwaved some popcorn.
So, anyways, the last time I actually used my oven was in September. I wanted to try my silicone bakeware that I got from my bro and SIL, and I was craving banana bread. So, I found a recipe on-line, and away I went.
I measured out the dry ingredients, and of course had fun measuring the mashed banana. Then, it was as easy as mixing and pouring. Oh, and I added some chocolate chips. I figured it had bananas in it, so why not balance that out with some chocolate? :-) It baked fairly fast, and I think I got it out just in time so that I didn't burn it! It was a bit tricky getting it out of the silicone bread pan (? or dish? whatever) but other than that, I thought using the silicone bakeware was just fine.
Today I am baking some of my usual chocolate chip cookies, but nothing special there...and I've already blogged about that.
And, I do want to try some new holiday cookies/treats this year...so, send along your favorite holiday recipe and maybe I'll give it a try!
