Now, I know that winter isn't quite over, so I'm sharing some quick bread recipes that will hopefully cheer the long and dark days.
The first one is a classic Banana Bread that is one of my favorite snacks.
If there are any leftovers, try a slice toasted for breakfast.
The second one is an Orange Spice Loaf with Marmalade Butter. Everyone at my house gave it two thumbs up!
Come on over to Seasonal Delights for the recipes and let me know if you try them!
Kelli~
ReplyDeleteYou're making my mouth water!
Good thing I have some ripe bananas!
yumm, love the bead loafs! I make banana bread very often and loooove snacking on it too! :) will check out your recipes and try them out!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing them!
That orange spice bread sounds delicious and your snippets from the latest Victoria in the last post has made me anxious to see my copy arrive in the post. The anticipation of spring is a lovely feeling isn't it? At this stage the garden is always going to be wonderful and you are always 'going to keep up with things this year' :) These are really inspiring posts - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI’m sending Linky Love your way, because...are you quite ready for this? Maybe you should sit down...oh, you already are sitting? (Hmm...I usually do all my blogging standing on the highest branch of a tree in the middle of the Amazon somewhere over the rainbow. Not really, but that would be cool, wouldn’t it?) Well then, I have added your blog to my sidebar list of blogs, thereby increasing my list from five to something greater than five, and all because I think you’re really neat! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeletePS Banana bread is the closest thing to regular baking I do. I LOVE it!
Oh Kelli, These look delicious!!! My daughter and I will be trying these this weekend. We made the banana bread last week, and we will try the orange bread this afternoon. We are expecting a big storm and lots of snow, so we will cuddle up with a slice of this, in front of the fire, with a cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteThanks
The Orange Spice Loaf sounds like a good one. I'll have to go get the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to check out the orange spice recipe. I *love* orange marmalade. :o)
ReplyDeleteMmmm... especially the orange spice@
ReplyDeleteYum, yum, yum! Banana bread is one of our favorties and I especially love it with a spread of cream cheese. I'll have to try the orange spice bread recipe, as we do love our sweet breads here. :o)

My family always enjoys the banana nut bread but that orange spice one is tempting my tastebuds.
ReplyDeleteThose breads look so yummy! I've never thought to toast banana bread, I bet it would be delicious.

Hello Kelli, Thank you for the delicious banana bread recipe...wow! I think it's wishful thinking that there will be even a smidge left for breakfast :( My advice is to double up the recipe and hide the other loaf ;)
ReplyDeleteThe banana bread looks delicious! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe orange bread looks yummy. I haven't stopped over in a couple days boy did I miss a lot. I loved your post about gardens and I loved your seed cabinet. And, your Sunday post. You've inspired me once again! Have a Blessed week. Oh... one more thing I was clicking on your post and caught a glimpse of the pirate. Before it completely loaded I thought he was a ninja called in to start working the garden and riding it of

Your breads look delicious! I will definitely copy down the recipes as I love to bake. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThose breads are lovely, I am especially eager to try the Orange Spice Loaf. Yum! It will be perfect as its cold with lots of snow and rain - can't quite make up its mind, but the city looks like a huge slush ball. Have a great day, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteThe orange spice loaf is one I'd like to try - they all look yummy and presentation is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteManuela
We absolutely LOVE banana bread around our house and it doesn't last for too long ~ um, there really are no leftovers, to speak of (imagine a teenage boy taking about half the loaf as "his" piece LOL)!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are new pictures on my blog if you get some time to come by for a visit :)
Have an awesome day, Kelli!
"found" you this morning..I'm gonna try those breads too:)
ReplyDeleteI made the cherry pie today:)
Can't wait until after dinner :)
I love the name of your blog and your photographs look like they walked right out of the latest magazine. Really wonderful and I want some of the bread with a bit of butter and a nice cup of tea please.
ReplyDeletePat
They look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour bread sounds wonderful ...
ReplyDeleteI can't even think about spring with so much snow on the ground. I know this is the perfect time to plan and all the garden seeds have arrived but my flower beds...not thinking of them yet...jut too far away for me....I am so ready for spring!!! Dianntha
WOW!!! That bread looks sooo luscious~ I bet it tastes good. I have a confession to make...I ran with your idea about letterwriting on the Lounge and made a blog just for Letter Writers. I thought Tiany started it and she said, "No" it was Kelli, so I had two confessions to make today. I haven't decorated or done anything with it yet, but I have some good ideas of what I want to do. It's here if you're interested. homeschoolblogger.com/LettersInLonghand. I also wanted to say that I love Victoria magazine. I won a year subscription on Tiany's blog back during the Christmas Open House...It's a wonderful magazine.
ReplyDeleteNancy
