Fresh out-of-the-oven Banana Bread

Smells like Thanksgiving

Just got done making crumbly pumpkin bars and banana bread.  It smells fantastic in our house right now.  I will post pictures once my husband gets home and I can get my digital camera out of his car.  I also listened to Frank Sinatra while baking them and I just coudn't stop with the pumpkin bars, so I decided to mash the 2 ripe bananas we had left and make some banana bread.  Hopefully David will like them.  I will be curious to see how the pumpkin bars taste since I have never had them this way before, I have only had them with the cream cheese frosting.  Will post details later.

Later...David loved the crumbly pumpkin bars and the slice of banana bread...he said they were delicious.

Explaination of a Constant Goodies Baker

I am starting a blog for many reasons...the main reason though...is that I love to bake and make random combinations of food.  I recently got married and my husband will eat pretty much any combinaton of food I put in front of him.  He is a huge fan of ranch dressing and he usually eats ranch with every meal.  I want to start this blog to show and tell about what I bake on a regular basis and also what I cook for lunch and supper most days.  I plan on taking pics to go along with the blog I am writing that day...whether it be a pie, cookies or pizza...I plan on showing the outcome of what I make.  I no longer work...so I spend many of my days looking up recipes, watching food shows and just thinking about different combinations of food.  Just like the other day, my husband turned to me right after we woke up and said what are you thinking about and I said I had so many recipes and food ideas going through my head that I might as well get up and start looking them up, because I couldn't fall back asleep.  One thing that I can't wait to make is an Apple Pie...that is my weakness this year, whether it be caramel-walnut applie pie, dutch apple pie or just good ol'fashion apple pie...I WILL learn how to bake one.  I also want to put in here, that you will see that I do bake a variety of goodies, but I rarely try them.  I get the answer I want about my bakinng and cooking, by watching the people's reaction that eat them.  I do sometimes have to try them, just because of the reaction I get.  I am inspired to do this for many reasons, but the main reason I bake is because, I truly enjoy doing it.  Oh, and one more thing...I usually only listen to Frank Sinatra or Singers and Swing on Music Choice, because that era of music soothes my soul and puts me in a great state of mind!
