Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day!
I’m making your day that much better by sharing with you these absolutely adorable mini banana cornbread loaves – with a crunchy banana nut cluster crust (made from this KIND snacks banana nut cluster granola) Perfect for one but even better to share.
Aka all I’ve been craving lately.
I love to eat seasonally. And currently, I’m all about the citrus and winter vegetables (i.e. butternut squash and kale sprouts!). I always associate winter with oranges because when I was younger, my mom would give my brother and I both an orange after dinner for “dessert” – and I would only accept during the winter months because that’s when citrus is the sweetest. I’ve always had a selective palate – once a foodie, always a foodie!
I mean, Valentine’s Day or whatever.
(Parks and Recreation is still one of my favorite shows. Leslie Knope for President. Insert praise hand emoji here.)
Oh my banana bread.
I’ve got a good one for you today. And bonus: it makes your house smell SO good. Just in time for Valentine’s Day too, in case you wanna spruce up your place a bit before your significant other comes over for dinner. Like burning a banana bread candle but better because you get to eat it too (I got you covered with dessert part!!).
It’s really no secret that I’m a devoted Trader Joe’s fanatic – I’m there so often I can navigate the aisles blindfolded, and the employees there are pretty much on first name basis with me (heyyyy Susan!)
But what’s not to love about TJ? The red baskets, Hawaiian shirts, funky snacks…I’m in love and I want to tell everyone about it.
Also, it’s where you can grab a pack of organic carrots for a whopping 89 cents.
Okay, world’s easiest side dish coming your way.
This was inspired by a dressing I saw while browsing Earthfare this weekend (story of my life) –
