After the banana bread was mixed together and in the oven, I made up

1. Do you ever make hot dog buns or hamburger buns? I use my bread machine to start the dough. Then I shape them and let them rise one more time and bake!

Oooh, banana bread! Meijer has bananas at 39 cents a pound this week, I should get some extra and make banana bread to freeze!

I have to agree with Danika, your energy is amazing and such an inspiration to me!! I started following your blog about a month ago and love it!! I have been waiting to see when your next baking day would be and when I saw you were doing it I decided I would give the recipe for the pita pockets a try. I did make the whole wheat version and it was so fun!! I am amazed that I made them and it was pretty easy too!! I brought a few over to my neighbors and they loved them. They taste so fresh! I wanted to say thank you for opening my eyes to so many possibilities!! thank you

I used to make similar kind of cake but I used to add a cup of powdered sugar and butter.

I really like this recipe for Banana Bread and have shared it with others. One thing I did to make it a little healthier is to substitue half of the oil with applesauce. Works very well and is still nice and moist.

Anyhow, a question about waffles. We make Belgian waffles for dinner from time to time. Fresh out of the iron with strawberries, whipped cream and syrup… hard to beat! I too make up any leftover batter and put the waffles in the freezer but, we don’t think they are as good when we toast / microwave them. How do you prepare your frozen waffles??
