Double Banana Cake with Raspberries

I was going for the classic banana bread, but happened upon this recipe from the newest issue of Bon Appetit and I have to admit "I will not throw away another batch of ripe banana's that are sitting on my counter"! They had to be put to good use and this was perfect! I added the raspberries as a final touch, any topping of your choice will do if you want to add color to the cake.

Enjoy!

Good Mornings and What Makes For Good Leftovers

School is back in session for my daughter so getting up earlier than I have been for a few months (Those summer months I am spoiled with sleeping in ;) ) but have to admit enjoying getting back into the hustle and bustle that mornings bring. But honestly we shall see how long it lasts, as it's still warm out after all.

I also wanted to share with you a recipe from last night, (says it is super easy and quick) well maybe it is, but because it is a new recipe for me the 20 min it says it takes to prepare was more like 60 for us (probably just me) but any which way it was good and definitely will be my lunch today too. I got the recipe out of this book (Super amazing and recommend getting ), but you can cook a similar recipe from All Recipes online as well.





Have a wonderful Tuesday, I am off to find calamine lotion because I seem to be a tasty treat for the mosquitoes as of late, I seriously have lost count how many bites I have received eww!

Arancine (Saffron Rice Balls)

Made these delicious saffron rice balls also called Arancine last night and definitely found a new favorite Italian treat that I will make often. I will admit though the preparation was longer then I thought, but worth it!! I substituted the arborio rice and saffron spice (well it is the most expensive spice in the world!!) with 2 packages of Mahatma brand saffron yellow and long grain rice instead. Turned out amazing, and quite filling, I only needed 3 with a side of asparagus. :p Enjoy xo
