Banana Crunch Bread

Banana Crunch Bread

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup sugar
1 extra-large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1 stick
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 medium bananas, mashed, 1 cup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup confectioners powdered sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Dash of salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, 1/2 stick

How to make it:

Spray or grease the bottom of a standard loaf pan (mine was 1 1/2 qts. capacity). Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl and using a mixer, beat together the sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the butter until smooth; beat in the buttermilk and mashed bananas.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon, if using. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until incorporated. Do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients together using a large fork or the bottom of a wire whisk until mixture resembles peas. Sprinkle the crumbles over the top of the batter.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until center tests done with a toothpick.

Honey Lime Shrimp

Honey Lime Shrimp

serves 2

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T honey
juice of one small lime, or half a large lime (2-3 T)
zest of one small lime, or half a large lime
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1.) In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.

2.) Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.

3.) When you’re ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.)

4.) Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch. Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink. Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque. Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!

Shrimp: they’re the fruit of the sea!

(Some have suggested adding tequila to the marinade.)

Pretzel Hugs

So easy too!

 

Pretzel Hugs

1 bag Hershey's kisses HUGS
1 lb bag pretzel squares
Parchment paper
Cookie sheet


Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place wax paper on cookie sheet. Place a single layer of pretzel squares onto the wax paper. Top each pretzel with one hug. Place in the oven for 2-3 minutes....YES just 2-3 minutes. You want the hug to be a little glossy, but not melted. If they melt, you will have a big mess! Remove from oven, let sit for 1-2 more minutes to let the hug soften a little more. Top each hug with another pretzel square. Place the pretzels in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let cool and firm. You can let them cool at room temp but will take longer to do so. These are also good with any of the kisses....may try with the pumpkin spice flavored kisses next!
