Banana banana bread

We didnt get to the Farmers Market, AJ caught a stomach bug and cant leave the house.. So I used up what we did have on hand.. Like over ripe banana's.  I would have tossed these before, but If I can master the bread in the oven maybe my bread machine will become less of an obsticle for me! 

Just threw these in my food processor along with the other ingrediants and Look at this beautiful bread!! Im not kidding ~ This never happens.. Somehow my oven makes mostly NON EDIBLE treats!  (Not me of course)

The only thing its missing is Blueberries like my Gram's.. Although I am sure mine will never taste like her's this is coming in close!

Cooking from my stockpile ~ Applesauce Cookies

Friday I was able to get a few jars of applesauce at a great price from Rite Aid.  So I googled recipes.. I found this awesome cookie recipe HERE. We loved them, including my puppies!

I modified it a little, 1tsp of vanilla and left out the walnuts and rasins so my little man can eat them!

They are light and crunchy.. Perfection!!  I left out a dozen for us to eat now..

and in 2 weeks I will have a dozen more from the freezer!
