Yum - Yum - Yummy

 Wishing you all a very happy and sweet Monday. For this Monday's post I wanted to share with you all a most delicious recipe from Na-Da Farms Life with Anne Marie   The recipe is Strawberry-Banana Bread and boy Oh boy is it out of  this world yummy!!!.  My family loved it and Gary said (you can make this one again babe! with a mouth full :)

(You can click on Na-Da-Farm above and print the recipe) This recipe is from the Na-Da Farm Kitchen.  Ann Marie shared her recipe on her blog and when I saw and read the recipe I knew I had to try and bake one. I am not the best cook, but this was fun and easy to bake and it sure was a hit with the family.

 This was the first time I baked in my new oven. I had so much fun baking this recipe, so on with the ingredients and away we go. Start by pre-heating your oven to 350 degrees

 Grease 2 - 9x5x3 inch loaf pans, set aside ..I used Crisco to grease mine

 Add 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda (oops forgot to snap a photo of the baking soda, but then you all know what baking soda looks like, silly me)
1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt

 Add the dry ingredients into a bowl and whisk all together

 4 eggs

 Beat eggs with whisk, and pour into another bowl
 Add 2 cups sugar to eggs

 I love this little sticker

 1 cup mashed ripe bananas

 Add bananas to eggs and sugar (the wet ingredients)

 1/2 cup cooking oil (vegetable oil - sunflower oil - canola oil) I used canola oil

 Add oil to eggs, bananas and sugar

 Wash and slice 3 cups of fresh strawberry's

Now add the strawberries to eggs, sugar, bananas and oil (wet ingredients)

 Now add the bowl of wet ingredients (eggs, sugar, oil, bananas and strawberries) into the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt)

 Chop 2 cups pecans or walnuts ( I used pecans)

 Stir in chopped nuts

 Now pour batter into loaf baking pans

 and put into oven to bake for 60 minutes and let the good yummy smell of home made strawberry-banana bread fill your home with sweet deliciousness 
 So while the bread was in the oven baking I washed the dishes

 Worked on a quilt I'm sewing,  and soon the hour had passed  and the bread was ready to take out of the oven

 Let the bread rest in the pans for 15 minutes then remove and cool on rack

 Can you smell them...so so so good.....

Slice yourself a warm piece of bread and enjoy!!! I cut  two pieces and shared one with Gary...
