Olive Oil Banana Bread

Is there anyone out there that didn’t make banana bread during quarantine? Funny enough, I have been testing out recipes for banana bread for years and finally locked one in. I have a recipe for banana muffins on here, but it definitely doesn’t translate into a loaf recipe.

It’s the olive oil, my friends, that’s the answer! Lots of banana bread recipes ask for oil and it puts me in a weird situation because I like how oil makes it moist but it doesn't add any value in terms of flavor. Coconut oil could potentially work, but then I feel like I should be on a tropical vacation with the mix of bananas and coconut. I would use melted butter, which is great for flavor but isn’t as moist as I would like. So, the moral of the story is, I tried some olive oil, and BOOM, heaven!

Sour Cream Key Lime Pie

If you read my blog somewhat frequently, you know that I am citrus obsessed! I loved adding any and all citrus to meals and desserts. Even though I have always liked Key Lime Pie, it was never on the top of my dessert list…until I met my husband.

Creamy Deviled Eggs

There are just some things in life that are really addicting! Potato chips, fries, cookies, chocolate…. and deviled eggs!! I feel like I can eat a million of these in one seating. I think the best deviled eggs I ever had were at a brunch in Houston, when my sister was living there.

Pink Strawberry and Sour Cream Scones

I am a major breakfast lover. I’m pretty sure I could have breakfast at every meal, and be completely content with life. Scones are one of my favorites, but I have to say, I am pretty picky. I am not a fan of soft cakey scones. I like them to be buttery and slightly crumbly.

Sour Cream Cornbread

Sour cream has to be one of my favorite ingredients ever! It is creamy and rich, silky and tart, while still being slightly sweet. The acidity allows your baking to turn out tender and light when combined with baking powder or baking soda.
