To be honest, I’d rather bake something wonderful than cook a whole meal.  I mastered the art of Banana Bread when I was young.  Started out using my mom’s old Betty Crocker cook book.  It’s now a well used cook book, you can tell by how many some pages are still stuck together - which is probably why my mom says I’m a messy cook!

Today I baked up some Banana Bread goodness.  I added Walnuts to the recipe, but it is just as wonderful without too.  I kept about a tablespoon of chopped nuts to sprinkle on top for a nice crust.

Over the years I have tried all sorts of different recipes, but the one I am sticking to from now on is found {HERE} on AllRecipies.  It’s super simple and turns out great every time.  Moist and delicious!

 

Then, all you have to do is slice and enjoy

Oops!  Looks like I couldn’t wait - had to take a bite   :)

They don’t call Spokane the Lilac City for nothing… 

All my bushes are starting to bloom and it’s making my yard smell oh so wonderful!

I’m actually wearing this today and I love my little Diana Camera!

New shoe alert! These are as comfy as they are cute. That is all!

Sunday Visit at Loon Lake…

my mom’s lilacs are starting to bud out,

favorite purple “shooting star” wild flowers are in bloom,

and Tucker Boy by my side.

My stash of Impossible Project Instant film is quickly dwindling.  Bummer!  

I broke into the Gold Frame Color Shade the other day and managed to take a few decent pictures this weekend, when there was a bit of sun.  I prefer the silver shade (black & white) normally because I can’t seem to ever get decent color out of the PX600 film, but I’m pretty happy with these.

After several days of anticipation, this morning I spied this Daffodil in bloom (finally)!

My first for Spring :)
