Evening everyone!
As I hinted to in my previous post, I registered for the big race today! :D
I will be running the Mississauga Half Marathon on May 10, 2009! I am officially registered! Yawhoo! :D
151 days to go!!

Now for my yummy, work pot-luck baking post!
I decided to make Brown Sugar Banana Nut Bread
Although I took out the nuts (and added chocolate chips) because someone in my workplace is allergic to nuts.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in vanilla and banana. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Blend the banana mixture into the flour mixture; stir just to combine. Fold in walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
I prefer this recipe with the nuts, but it was still really good!
I rate this recipe a 4.5/5 stars.

Congrats on signing up for the race! I agree about the airbrushing. Why? She looked good already.
I absolutely HATE all the celebrity airbrushing!! They’d be so much easier to relate to if we knew they jiggled a little bit :)

Hooray for the marathon sign-up; boo to the airbrushing; hooray for scrumptious banana bread!! :-)

I’ll be making this tomorrow and the vegan banana bomb muffins – yes, I have that many bananas laying around :)
My daughter wants the banana bread with nuts :)
Should the 1 tablespoon vanilla extract be on teaspoon? that is a lot of vanilla!
