Favorite Banana Bread

This is my tried and true go to recipe for just about anything. It's versatile, quick and GOOD. I usually make it into muffins, I'm not a loaf kind girl ;)

Quick Banana Nut Bread

1/3	cups mashed very ripe bananas (2 large)
2/3	cup sugar
1/4	cup milk
3	tablespoons oil
1/2	teaspoon vanilla
3	eggs
2 2/3	cups baking mix
1/2	cup chopped nuts

Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom of 9x5x3-inch loaf pan or I use muffin cups.
.Stir bananas, sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in baking mix and nuts. *i usually add some chocolate chips at this point LOL* Pour into pan.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaf from pan; remove from pan and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 day.

***less baking time for muffins of course, ~15min at most, watch them after 10min I'd say.

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this

Here we go again...

Trying something new. Hijacked my recipe blog to post my thoughts about round 5829 of weight loss. I feel like I wanted a new space, and I love LJ, and might cross-post or whatever, but I want to blog daily about my journey just in this. This is different this time, and yet it's the same old same old, at the same time. What? But it is. And it isn't. And I am frustrated, and annoyed, but finally to the point of moving forward, which is always good. Here's the thing. I gained a little over 50lbs with my pregnancy with Lachlan. Before that, I had gained about 20lbs, trying to figure out what I wanted to weigh, where I liked what I looked like, and basically just get my head not so effed up when it comes to food addiction. So really, ultimately, by the end of my pregnancy with Lachlan, in March 2012, I was up about 70lbs from my absolutely lowest ever of 145lbs. I had so many feelings surrounding all of this, and right after I had Lachs, I was do
