However, I do have a restaurant review coming soon, and also hopefully a post about making your own bread dough! See you soon!

What better way to make use of those extra bananas than to make some banana bread! Sounds easy enough, however, I don’t like walnuts in my bread and my husband doesn’t really care for chocolate chips in it (which I love!). So I figured I would try something new in my banana bread: white chocolate and macadamia nuts! The bread turned out delicious and moist, and more importantly met my husband’s approval!
