First up was a banana loaf. We had four over ripe bananas, as I tossed them into the bin, I happened so say out loud (stupid me), that Martha, would never do that, she would have made something with those. Before the words had left my mouth, the husband was nodding with glee, telling me that his favourite thing is banana loaf. So you guessed it, I made my first banana loaf, it was okay, for the first time...think I can do better next time.
Then seen as though Thanksgiving is coming up, I decided to try my hand at a pumpkin pie. How easy is it...okay, we have not tasted it yet, but it looks and smells awesome y'all!
I think my husband is in housewife heaven, and my waist line is about to get even bigger...oh well....hang-on....bananas and pumpkins are vegetables, aren't they....yes....that's right....who said dieting was difficult?
UPDATED: My little sister has kindly pointed out to me, that in fact a banana is a fruit....thanks Lindsay....which is still healthy though!

mmm sounds yummy! I love banana loaf.
wow, hayley
tell francois a lot of folks love pumpkin pie so much, they have it @ breakfast too.
banana *bread* is what we call it in the south, and there are some good & some bad recipes out there. you are brave to foray into the wilds.
wanta try a fresh apple cake next? it'll make you weak in the knees it's so good, and still hey, made with fruit.
i like your plan of healthy eating/ baking now, with fruits and vegetables, so that when christmas comes, you can say yes, please to chocolate! you've been virtuous thru november, right? :)
do y'all really cook our pilgrim foods for thanksgiving? what's your favorite?
i've been baking ginger cookies with lemon glaze, and just now i'm taking a break from seeding pomegranates. LOVE 'EM
word verification is mismas - what i've made of this post! sorry for the long comment!
It was awesome! Nigella who?
I'm impressed. I only cook because I have to (to feed myself and Shiloh without gaining a billion pounds from fast food) and I don't bake. I don't have time and if I do have extra time, I don't want to be baking. Maybe this is why I'm single? Haha.
hey Lisa, yip we actually call it banana bread here too, for some reason, I called it 'loaf' on my blog.
nope we dont do anything at all about thanksgiving, I was just inspired to cook a pumpkin pie, i have been dying to for a while so used thanksgiving as an excuse.
Would love to see what foods you guys make for thanksgiving?
