Really, Are We Gonna Go Through This Torture Again...Pumpkin-Banana Bread

10/24/2012

 
I'm not a baker;
I'm TERRIBLE at it,
as you know.
Click here to see what an impatient, horrible baker I am.


And to top it off,
my bananas are jerks!



Picture


Click here to see what other nasty things these jerks have said to me in the past.



But that didn't stop me from attempting this Pumpkin Banana Bread!
Picture



I saw this
recipe in a magazine and my mouth started watering so I threw caution to the wind and got my baking crap out again.



And this recipe was actually very easy and really quite tasty.
Picture



Picture

With some hot coffee and a little butter...

pretty darn yummy.







But in the meantime, let me just say...


Picture

NaNaNaNa
BooBoo!!!!

My counters are clean!!!


So THERE!





Picture
Exhibit A: Notice the Madsen household's far counter with the microwave.....

.........

........

that's called CLEAN for those of you who have never seen the Madsen's counters uh....clean.






Picture

Having doubts?

Let me bring into evidence

Exhibit B: the counter by the stove and the actual stove.

They are looking weird to Angie, but that's because they are.......clean.






Picture
Exhibit C: Angie's prep area. Angie must not be prepping anything because once again, those counters are of the "clean" variety, cleared off, sanitized, washed down, dejunked, you know......clean.




PictureHere's the kicker, Mindy WILL NOT pick up after herself either. Hummmph.



I didn't say my floor was clean though!!!


Geez!




Picture
Anyway,

let's get to starting this Pumpkin-Banana Bread
from the

Midwest Living
Comfort Food magazine 2012.



And believe it or not, this was an easy recipe....even for me....
Picture
So here's the fixins for this fine Pumpkin-Banana Bread.




Picture


The recipe calls for toasted pecans, so I just threw some pecans in the oven on a baking sheet for five minutes.

YAY, I did not burn them this time.

It's the small successes in life.




Picture



Okay so let's get started with the sugar...




Picture



Add the
oil in...

Picture


Mix away.









Boring.


Picture


Add the eggs in one at a time.

Why?
Why do eggs have to be added in one at time?

It seems so, so time consuming.






Picture
See, when you're trying to just put one egg in at a time while holding the mixer,

ONE FREAKING FALLS ON THE GROUND!!!





Picture




Picture





Picture
SHUT UP you annoying piece of monkey fruit!!!





Picture


Moving on,

this is the wet stuff together.




Picture


This is the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger together.




Picture

Holy crap, grab onto your hats! This is the exciting dry stuff going into the wet stuff and getting mixed up.




Picture


Add the canned pumpkin in...





Picture


Mash up those mean, mouthy bananas
real good and dump them in.





Picture
Okay,

now I can see light at the end of the tunnel here,
fold the toasted pecans in.




Picture


Pour the batter into the greased pans.



Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Picture
And they come out real nice too.




Picture
Okay,

this is a gratuitous shot of my pretty platter with the Pumpkin-Banana Bread on it.




Picture




Slice up some of this light and delicious snack bread.




Picture




The toasted pecans are awful nice in this bread as well.






Picture
So grab your coffee,

sit down for a spell,

and let's chat about the Bee Gees and their impact on the music world.

Hey wait!! Don't run a way!!! 
What? You don't think the Bee Gees are the greatest artists of all time???!!????
That's okay, we can talk about other things.  Wanna talk about polka and how Lawrence Welk is under appreciated? Well, how about the oppression of women over centuries of time...is that a better topic?
Well then answer this, who was cooler...Sgt. Pepper Anderson of Police Woman or Julie from The Mod Squad?

Seriously, come back!!! We'll talk about what you want to talk about................hey, you don't wanna happen to sing Sunshiney Day by the Partridge family with me, do you?













Why you squealing tires out of my driveway?




Geez.
