Banana Bread

The best recipes come tried and true from friends who begged them from other friends and so on and so on. Thats the wonderful thing about sharing recipes – the more good recipes we share the better we all get to eat This banana bread comes from my friend Heidi who years ago begged this recipe from a ski friends mother – Mrs. Hockmeyer parents of friends are always Mr. and Mrs. no matter how old we get. Mrs. Hockmeyer passed away years ago but her simple but perfect banana bread lives on for all of us to enjoy.

No-Knead Crusty White Bread

No-Knead Crusty White Bread

The most basic of all no-knead loaves, this is a wonderful way to get into yeast-bread baking. The easy stir-together dough rests in your refrigerator, developing flavor all the time, till you're ready to bake. About 90 minutes before you want to serve bread, grab a handful of dough, shape it, let it rise, then bake for 30 minutes. The result? Incredible, crusty artisan-style bread. If you're a first-time bread-baker, you'll never believe this bread came out of your own oven. If you're a seasoned yeastie, you'll love this recipe's simplicity.
