Banana Nut Bread and Cake
I don’t know how it happened, or when it came about, but I love to bake. It’s fun, and I love trying different recipes and the end result is always a huge plus. However, I am a mess in the kitchen. It does not matter how I go about it, a mess is always created and the more I take my time, the bigger the mess.

It is the beginning of winter soups and chili’s, and I’ve already got a list of planned stews for the upcoming months. Granted, I tend to cook soups and stews through the summer months, but I usually don’t make chili unless it’s winter time. I don’t know if that’s planned as much as it is trained from childhood. It would get so hot in Texas that no matter how cold the a/c was, no one…
