No, it is not a pregnancy craving, but what I made this evening with the help of Chris. We had some bananas turning mighty brown and since the oven was already running, I figured we should whip up a quick batch of bread.
Monkey Tail Bread
It is super-easy to make. Follow your own banana bread recipe and add a packet of chocolate pudding to the batter. I always add a little extra banana in there to make up for the extra dry part.
Then, when dinner took longer than anticipated, I decided to make some strawberry jam with strawberries that were starting to taste a little fermented but had no mold growing on them.
Strawberry Jam
The white in the bottom of the jar are leftover bubbles. I used this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Strawberry-Jam/Detail.aspx
Now I just have to hope it jelled!
Between now and the arrival of baby number #2, I would like to get a few things frozen. I have a ton of zucchini to use up (I will be making Pineapple Zucchini Bread and Pseudo-Strawberry Jam using zucchini and strawberry jello) and would like to incorporate more of my pantry staples into freezer meals. Have a good freezer-friendly recipe? I’d love to see it!
