I was feeling in the mood for a homemade treat when my kids got home from school the other day, but was feeling out of ideas. I had a pantry full of basic dried goods and several too ripe bananas. I knew I’d pinned something recently with bananas for an after school snack idea. So I grabbed my phone and with just a couple of swipes I had it, Sarah Yates’ recipe for Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Bingo. All ingredients were in my pantry, bananas were calling my name, and all the while I could hear my kids saying “thanks mom, you’re the best!” (It’s totally what I live for.)
A little confession, I am kinda a freak about being an ultra-neat cook/baker. I get all my ingredients out and ready before starting. As I use an ingredient, I put it away immediately. Is that weird? It makes me feel like the clean up is so much less daunting.
Easy. Simple. No trip to the store. Pinterest for the win!
