Banana Blueberry Bread

Dips, Dressings, and Spreads

Was in a baking mood. Here is the recipe.

Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

In a small bowl, beat eggs using a fork. Add eggs to sugar mixture and beat until combined. Add mashed bananas and combine.

Sift or whisk to combine dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add sifted dry ingredients to banana mixture and mix until flour is just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX! Fold in blueberries.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. The edges will be slightly brown and a toothpick or knife should come out clean. Cool completely before removing from loaf pans.

La Belle Vie

Breakfast and Brunch, Eating Out, French

So I said I was changing up this blog. First is with more friends and restaurants. Second, I LOVE writing and don’t want to give it up. I love telling my story, and if no one wants to listen or read it, I don’t care. I love it, and that is all that matters.

Today I met my friend Sam. She is one of the kindest and interesting friends I have. Her life is very strange and she has a lot of weird stories and jobs. She was instrumental in a lot of things with Lizzie and helping my life in a time that was super hard. I will forever love her to pieces.

We met at a French restaurant in Suwannee/Duluth, GA. It is AMAZING. Weekend Brunches are awesome. Pre-Covid, I went there for Tuesday Happy Hour while a kid was at practice. Escargot, Mussels, bread, French Onion Soup, Aperol Spritz… I love everything I have had. Check this place out! https://www.belleviesuwanee.com/

New Adventures

Date Night, Misc. stuff

Hello family and friends! I started this blog when Lizzie was sick and cooking made my soul feel better. It blossomed into something I loved to do and continue to be obsessed with. The girls have gotten older and our family food adventures have changed. I will still randomly post recipes, but maybe more restaurants and cookbook reviews, and fun trips… I don’t know. I love sharing my food adventures and inspiring you to get in the kitchen!

Last night my husband and I had a great date night at Seasons 52. I had a rare steak and he had the Cedar Plank salmon. Amazing restaurant for friends and family and celebrating anything. Also the dessert cups are so good!!!
