A morning - cooking

This morning I have been on ‘home duty’, Jeff has gone back to school to do some prep for next week, so I have been in charge of the children and this morning I wanted to give them my undivided attention. I asked them what they wanted to do – Sam “nothing”, Sophie “cooking.”


So with a fruit bowl over flowing with over ripe bananas, it was decided that Banana Loaf would be a good choice.





Sophie loves to cook, well to be honest, when in the mood both children do.


I do, when I have time.


I don’t enjoy the ‘it’s 5.00pm – what shall we have for tea cooking’ but I do enjoy a morning in the kitchen with no time pressure.



Whilst it was in the oven, Sophie started perusing my old cookbooks for her next cooking session.



We used a Delia recipe - always works -and a hour later, we had not one but 2 yummy Banana Loaves




Sophie's verdict - smiles, so all good.




My verdict - well the proof is in the eating - delicious!

Yum! I love banana cake but mine is always rubbish so I stick to making other cake and buying banana cake. I bet Sam enjoyed the cake even if he didn't fancy making it ;)

I don't like banana cake which is why I make such a lot of it! I have EIGHT sitting in the freezer just now!

fab! as you know i've been baking banana and oat bread recently - always a hit! I, too, am not a fan of 'what to cook tonight' meals but every now and then i cook up a storm in the kitchen because i can! back to school next week means firing up the slow cooker again. As CK says 'best invention EVER!'.
