Spring Break Here I Come!

Spring break in Minnesota apparently means sub-zero temperatures...
I am so over winter it's crazy.

Today was crazy insane.
7-10:30 work
11-12 Taught a phy ed lesson to 45 kindergartners
12-1 pack, clean, eat lunch
1-2 ESL class
2:30 checkout
3-5 trip home

Yep.  I am tired.

When I got home we had an amazing dinner of whole wheat pasta, shrimp, and a Parmesan cheese and olive oil sauce, with fresh broccoli.  Needless to say I had been looking forward to that meal all week.

As soon as I sat down, I of course felt like I needed to be doing something.  So I tried a recipe I've been dying to try and it was delicious.

Here's the recipe :)

Apple Banana Bread

INGREDIENTS

2 ripe bananas
1 apple, peeled and diced
1/2 cup Sucanat (or sugar)
1 3/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1.    Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9-inch loaf pan.

2.    In a medium-sized bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.

3.    Add the diced apple, sugar, flour, applesauce, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl, and mix well. Pour into greased pan, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts

4.    Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry.

5.    Cool in pan for 15 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Here's a picture of my finished product.

It even passed the parent taste test, which is a major accomplishment!

If there is any left after dad has a couple more "snacks" I am planning on using one piece of this as a mid morning snack with some berries for the next few days.

Until tomorrow :)
