Menu Plan for the Week
ByAfter my cooking and baking marathon last weekend…this weekend seemed so…easy. The only extra food items I made this weekend were a Banana Cake and several loaves of Applesauce Bread (made with shredded apples instead of applesauce). The great thing about having black bananas and grainy apples is that you can still eat them!! I wish all food that “went bad” had a good recipe to go with it!
Several more inches of snow fell, so we finally made some Snow Ice Cream!! That stuff is so good! (Even if you do sit there with stiff, blue lips while you eat it. It is so worth it!)

I don’t know how you did it last weekend! I only made 2 loaves of bread made (woohoo!!) one chocolate coffee cake (ok 2, but the first wasn’t good-had to tweak it) and a pot of Lasagna soup!
But we also had 2′ of snow fall, so we were outside a lot! Snowblowing and shoveling. not sure if my arms hurt from shoveling or kneading bread lol.
