Moist Banana Bread

Some people really dislike the word moist.  But the moister the cake the happier I am, even if it errs on the side of uncooked.  Here is a low fat recipe to help keep those skinny jeans from getting too tight.


This makes about 1 loaf and 8 cupcakes, or 1.5 loaves... 
4 Bananas
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 stick butter..melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c yogurt
1 egg


Mash bananas in a bowl and then add egg, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon and yogurt.  Premix flower and baking soda and powder, cinnamon and salt and mix it into the wet ingredients.
Put in the oven for 20 min at 350 degrees Farenheit.  If you put a knife in it, it should not come out clean.

Mango


What do you get when you add simple, yummy ingredients?  Basically its paradise in your mouth.
This (like all beverages) tastes better in a mason jar... just saying.

Take Frozen Mango (1-2 cups)
1 Banana
1/2 c. orange juice
1 c yogurt
1 c crushed ice 

Blend in a blender or with a stick blender.  Add additional ingredients to taste.
Note- For an even better smoothie use yogurt.

unhappy hipsters

 
This is Clyde the calf.  He is going to be veal because he is male.
I don't particularly like veal, but I support happy, farm raised food! 

I figured this blog should evolve to include food-related items instead of only recipes.

Where do hipsters live? In ultra modern apartments where they are probably unhappy... what is up with that?  unhappy hipsters
