Blueberry Bread & Sunshine

IMG_7320
I made some more fruit bread today. I split the mix in two separate bowls and put blueberries in one and strawberries in the other. I poured the batter into 2 separate little loaf pans and made strawberry bread and blueberry bread.
The blueberry bread tastes really good. I may make a big loaf of it next time.

I’m happy to report that the sun finally came out today. It warmed up to a balmy 32°. 😉
I was so excited to see the sunshine that I had to take a photo of it to share with you.

Putting Strawberry Bread to the test

0-IMG_7305
It’s 50° this gray dreary rainy Tuesday. I have chicken stroganoff in the slow cooker cooking for supper and I just made a fresh loaf of Strawberry Bread.

I’ve been wanting to do a test at baking using some the foodstuffs we’ve switched too and this Strawberry Bread was the perfect recipe to try them on. First I had to half the recipe. Why do folks create such big recipes? Anyway, Plain flour, baking soda and cinnamon were the only original ingredients from the recipe that I used. For the rest I replaced them with olive oil, egg maker (liquid eggs), mix of sugar/splenda, lite salt. The batter was so thick that I added some 1% milk and I then added a bit of vanilla for good measure. lol So really I made a new recipe today. I like that.
The finished bread smells wonderful, looks nice and tastes really good to me. I’m really happy with my success of this bread. I hope my hubby likes it too. If my hubby likes it, I’ll put the recipe in my keeper folder for future use.

I hope your test recipes turn out successful and
your homes are filled with aroma of home-cooking.

Wishing you a pleasant rest of the day.

I’m happy to say that my husband loved my Strawberry Bread and even carried a couple slices to work in his lunch today. 🙂
I’m so happy, I have another recipe to make from time to time. I just love it when my recipes turn out well.

Happy Groundhog Day 2014!

2-4-2014- There’s a couple of them furry pampered varmints that saw their shadows… but since there wasn’t a ray of sunshine to be found in our neck of the woods, we’ve decided that our resident groundhogs couldn’t possibly of seen their shadows and so we’re going to pray for have early warm weather anyway. 🙂

Happy Groundhog Day!
Wishing you all an Early Spring
Regardless of what the critter
for your region says!

When You’re Feelin’
Like Ya Just Can’t Win,
It’s Time Then,
To,
Lift Up Your Chin,
Crack A Grin,
And Dance With My
GroundHog Friends.
