Our Daily Bread

I baked this a few days ago after realizing that the Munchkin is a bit particular as to how ripe of a banana he will eat, resulting in us having a bunch of spotty bananas on our kitchen counter. The banana bread is all gone now, with the majority of it eaten within the hours of it coming out the oven. I felt the need to blog about my banana bread solely because I get into these food phases where I become completely obsessed with consuming a certain food. I kid you not. You can ask my past roommates. Once, I was sooo food obsessed with chili that I ate it for 2 months straight. I ate it for lunch, dinner, and sometimes as a snack. Before that, I was on a nachos binge. I ate plates of nachos for a whole month!

So, I thought by blogging about my banana bread that maybe I can break the cycle. The last thing I need is to be obsessed with eating banana bread! I used this recipe from the Williams Sonoma website, but really I have yet to encounter a banana bread recipe that didn't come out yummy. I've always made mine with straight up butter and so I was curious as to how it would taste with the addition of buttermilk that the Williams Sonoma recipe calls for. My verdict: pure yumminess! I'll definitely be using this recipe again when the need/urge to bake banana bread strikes.

In the meantime I still have half a bunch of very ripe bananas that need to get used up. The thought of banana chocolate chip muffins having been popping into my head. I just need to find a recipe for it. But that might be too much work for right now...especially since I already have a bread recipe that I know is great. Hmm, maybe I should just bake another loaf of banana bread...
