This might make you hungry…

So any of you that follow me on Facebook know that I have been on a chocolate chip banana bread kick, and I decided that it is time to finally share the recipe! I made it again this for my family and it only survived two days! The girls love it for breakfast or dessert and Mike loves to pick on it all day long.

This is not my own recipe, but one I found on Pinterest below:

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

If you want to save some time the recipe is below.  Please make sure to leave your feedback when you decide to make it! I would love to know your thoughts.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8″x5″ (or similar size) loaf pan with baking spray (the kind with flour in it) and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl mash the bananas until completely smooth. Stir in the melted butter until smooth.
  3. Add the sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt and flour and stir until the batter is thick and combined. Fold in the chocolate chips then pour/scoop the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake for 50 minute to 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking for a pretty presentation.

Taco…Thursday?

So everyone pretty much loves tacos right? And usually you hear about taco Tuesday’s, but I am here to tell you about taco Thursday’s! In the downtown Louisville area every Thursday is a taco truck, The Traveling Kitchen ,that sits outside my place of employment. If you work downtown and haven’t tried The Traveling Kitchen, you have at least heard about it. They provide quality Korean tacos at a GREAT price. Some may even say they taste like heaven in your mouth!  Most of the restaurants downtown cost on average of 10 dollars for a meal, and usually it is just a lunch portion.  But at the taco truck you can get 3 tacos FILLED with glorious meat for only 8 dollars…AND they taste amazing!tacos

Oh and did I mention that they have pan-fried or deep-fried dumplings as well?!?! Talk about icing on the cake! … or more like kimchi on the tacos! That’s right they also have kimchi you can add to any taco! Go follow their Facebook page (linked above) so you can see where they will be next! I promise you will NOT be disappointed!

With that, I will end… Happy Taco Thursday!
