Happy Monday all!
I am happy to announce that the SRC is back, coming at you full-force! We took a little siesta over the holidays to figure out some things and re-group. I am thrilled beyond measures. Actually, I almost forgot about the big reveal today. So, on Saturday morning I started to panic! Seriously, what is all the anxiety about? Things in life should be simple. Cooking, baking, and sharing my recipes with all of you lovely people is what I was born to do! Right? Right? Yes. My passion is food and that is what I do. I have said this many times before, food is love. Not the kind of love that you can see when a couple walk hand-in-hand down the side walk, but the kind of love that you can feel. With every whisk of the eggs, roll of the meatball, and kneading of the bread, I am showing love. Love for you pretty people. That’s why I am super ecstatic that my secret blogger is Ann from Sumptuous Spoonfuls (what a great blog name, right?). Yes.
Ann is an engineer/chef…I know, I know, pretty amazing right? She says she is not actually a chef, but seriously, I know a chef when I see one. You don’t have to go to culinary school people! Ann has a true passion for food and it shows right down to the beautiful and elegant details in her food photos. I am so jealous. Anyway, Ann is great and you should all go and visit her blog because she has some amazing “sumptuous” recipes, a lot of them super-healthy, A++! Go Ann!
Back to how I was talking about things in life should be simple. I was so grateful that Ann had a recipe for her Mom’s Chocolatey Banana Bread because we all know that I am obsessed. I have made my banana bread 19053 times this week. You think I’m joking. However, I have yet to make it with chocolate chips. Perfect opportunity. Done. Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread it is! Like I said, things in life should be simple. Like waking up on a Saturday morning, skipping the gym, and instead, making this banana bread. You know I just had to go and make it gluten-free for all you celiacs out there. You can’t tell the difference. My dad takes my banana bread to work every week and his co-workers do back flips over it. Wait until they taste it with chocolate chips.
Like I said, simplicity is key.
So is a slice of warm, gooey, chocolatey, banana bread.
