When You Burn The Banana Bread....

...just add icing! Banana bread is gold here in this house hold. We devour it in minutes and it was almost tragic when I told my husband he couldn't eat it till I photographed it in the morning. 

I have made banana bread countless time and have always used the same recipe here. Its delicious, doesn't call for nuts and doesn't require 3 bananas like most. This time I mindlessly put the banana bread in the oven and forgot about it! Thankfully not too long but long enough to get the top extra dark...maybe that's what I was going for. I quickly went in to fixing mode and whipped out the icing. You would now never notice and let me say I'm all for adding more yummy calories to anything.

So there you have it! Do you have any yummy recipes you would like to share? I am a newbie to cooking and would love to here some new recipes:)

Simple Stromboli

This recipe is very simple an husband approved! It is always nice when your husband says "this taste awesome babe!"

To start the dry ingredients are:

1 package of fast rising yeast

2 ½ cups of flour

1 teaspoon of salt

Mix yeast, 1 cup of flower and salt together

The liquid ingredients are:

1 cup of water 

1 table spoon of olive oil

In separate bowl mix water and oil together. Then microwave for 1 minuet 30 seconds.

Combine ingredients and stir. Slowly add the rest of the flour.

Once most of the flour is mixed in kneed. After it has reached a dough like consistency, let sit for 30 minuets. 

With flour on a clean surface  make a rectangle with the dough. I do this just by pressing it out with my fingers. Add flour to your fingers if the dough is sticking.

The toppings I chose are spinach, tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. You can really add anything you like such as onion or tomato slices.

When you have your desired toppings, cut a 1 inch slices of dough on either side of your toppings.

Fold the two ends of the dough first then start on one side bringing the dough sections together. Top with some melted butter before putting in the oven. 

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done. The one I made was a personal size approximately 7 inches by 3 inches. If yours is bigger you may need longer cook time.
