Banana Bread

We had some bananas on hand that were starting to get to that point where you either had to make something with them or throw them away. So off to Pinterest I went to find a easy recipe. Boy did I find it.

Banana Bread
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/3 cup banana (about 4 or 5 bananas)

Preheat your oven to 350*
You will want to spray a 9x5 loaf pan.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl mix butter and brown sugar.
Stir in eggs and mashed bananas. Slowly adding the flour mixture. 
Your batter should be pretty thick. Pour into your loaf pan.
Bake for 60-65 mins. Transfer to a wire rack for cooling.

As a 6 month pregnant lady this made the house smell so amazing I couldn't pay attention to anything else. It was moist and perfect and with a tiny little bit of butter on top I couldn't have asked for anything better. I really hope you try this one because it was so good.
Happy baking!

Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups


This was so easy and smelled AMAZING! The hardest part of this recipe was shredding the chicken. And that was nothing.

Chicken Alfredo Roll Ups
7 Lasagna Noodles (you only need 6 but 1 is just in case)
2 1/2 cups alfredo sauce (or one jar)
2 cups shredded chicken (3 chicken breast was perfect for 6 noodles)
garlic salt
shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat your oven to 350* and cook your chicken to shred
Cook your lasagna noodles and rinse in cold water. Lay them out on a paper towel when cooked.
Spray a 8x11 pan and then pour just enough alfredo sauce in the bottom to just cover the bottom.
Take your noodle and spread a spoonful of sauce on. Then add shredded chicken, cheese and garlic salt.
Roll up your noodles and place in pan.
Cover up the noodles with the remaining sauce and place in oven for 20 mins.
Take out and sprinkle remaining cheese on top and continue cooking for another 10 mins.

This recipe got a big fat star next to it! I got tons of mmmm's as everyone enjoyed. This is so simple that nobody has an excuse not to try it. A friend suggested using this recipe and making it stuffed shells instead of the lasagna noodles. Try it! If anyone does let me know!
