I am always on the lookout for fun, new recipes. I rarely use the same recipe twice, but I keep coming back to my tried and true banana bread recipe from the pages of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. It’s not sexy, but it is surefire. Still, there must be something more exciting out there…
Enter the Pioneer Woman. My mother-in-law loves her cookbook, and I’ll admit to losing more than a few minutes in her blog every now and then. Last time I was searching for a banana bread recipe, I cam across hers. I like the idea of sour cream, and I love the Bundt pan. The recipe made a batch of bread and muffins big enough to share–also a plus.
And, they were good…
But next time, I’ll go back to the seemingly pedestrian recipe from the plaid-covered cookbook. It might be simple, but sometimes simplicity is hard to beat.
