Breakfast Banana Bread

October 18, 2010

Yesterday there were bananas on my counter begging to be made into bread.  Well they may not have been begging, but they were quite brown and spotty.  My breadmaker had a recipe for banana bread that included yeast – odd for a banana bread; the recipe had 3/4 cup of banana in it and I [...]

Apple and Cheese Tower

February 27, 2010

I’m up early to make it to school for 8:30 am – not so fun on a Saturday! I decided to try something new for breakfast – and it is something I will make again. That’s a toasted Food for Life English Muffin, sliced apples and sliced reduced fat cheddar cheese.  I love the apple-cheddar [...]
