I recently spent a lovely weekend in Dalton, Georgia with my friends dear Heidi and Bob, those dastardly people who fled Miami two seconds after they wed several months ago. They’re in the midst of a floor-to-ceiling home remodeling and currently their house looks like this:

It’s good they’re doing this before having kids – can you imagine the number of times Jonah would electrocute himself and the massive quantities of small hardware bits Benjamin would consume?

Heidi had made banana bread without nuts, which rekindled my interest in this particular sweet bread. Plus, she eats hers with cream cheese on top, which I had never heard of, and it’s a tasty addition!

So when got home I found a really good recipe in my Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook.  It’s so delicious I’ve made it twice! I just added the recipe to my Favorite Sweetbreads page so read, drool, then start the banana-mashing!

The boys are not allowed to eat these sorts of things yet, but Benjamin managed to stand on his tip-toes and snag a piece off the table yesterday. He’s very fond of snagging things off tables these days... banana bread, drinking glasses, placemats, knives, and all manner of breakable items.
