Bananalicious!
In honor of my young, hungry, and NEWLY ENGAGED co-blogger, I present this chocolate chip banana bread recipe that I adapted from foodnetwork.com. Christine makes a legendary banana chocolate chip cake and while I would never claim to out-bake it, this recipe is a quick and easy substitute. I recommend eating it with a diamond ring on your left hand….congrats, Christine, I love you!!!!!

Here’s an oldie, but a goodie – my father’s favorite Toll House cookie bars. There’s something to be said for classics, try as I might to manipulate them into something new… One must realize things are classic for a reason; reason being that they are perfect as is. And so each birthday & Father’s Day I receive a request for the simple Toll House recipe written for everyone to see and share on the back of the package with special directions not to change anything. As such I will refrain from experimentation just this once and, of course, anytime I need to say thank you for washing my car, monitoring my finances, or just being a great father in general.
I hope you enjoy these as you should enjoy many things in life – simply delicious just the way they are!

Farewell Red October! And welcome winter?! I know October was coined red with the Russian Revolution, but I’m going to dare to say I deem orange more appropriate. Lest we forget that October brings changing leaves, pumpkins, and Halloween, the birthday of my orange haired friend! So in case it wasn’t already evident, you’re going to be on the receiving end of a multitude of recipes containing pumpkin, the first of which is already in your possession. Don’t fight it.
Pumpkin recipe #2 of the season comes as a result of a co-workers birthday which, in essence, means baking time. While I deliberated over the many usual birthday options – cake, cupcakes, well I guess that’s about it – I resolved to make something more diabetic-friendly and went with pumpkin breakfast bread. After some research I was more or less dissatisfied with the recipes on the many diabetic and diet sites so I took note of the necessary sugar substitutions, found my favorite recipe, and voila – a reduced sugar pumpkin masterpiece was made!
