As I write this I have already baked 2 more loaves of Banana Bread since the 1st one in the post below -1 plain with nuts and 1 with nuts AND chocolate chips...mmmm. Again, they didn't last long, but since they turned out so well, I decided to branch out and try some other different kinds of bread. So while David went out of town for a couple of days, I secretly called his mom and had her give me the recipe for his absolute FAVORITE bread ever, Plum Bread. I know it doesn't sound all that wonderful, but honestly, the plums come from baby food, and you really don't even taste them. To me it was closer to a spice bread or even Amish/friendship bread. Anyway, while he was gone, I bought all the ingredients (although I couldn't find plain baby food plums anywhere, so I had to use a combo of apples and plums - but that's really ok) then I made the bread, and only tasted 1 slice before he had almost all the rest of it. Amazing, the whole loaf didn't even last a full 3 days in our house! I knew I should have made 2 like the recipe called for instead of trying halve the recipe so that we didn't have too much. But oh, well, I guess I'll just have to make it again. Anyway, without further ado, I know you are all sitting on the edge of your seats waiting to see what this AMAZING recipe is, so here it is...
PLUM BREAD
2 SMALL JARS PLUM BABY FOOD (or any other fruity flavor you like)
2 CUPS SUGAR
2 CUPS SELF RISING FLOUR
3 EGGS
1 CUP WESSON OIL
1/2 TSP EACH CLOVES & NUTMEG
1 TSP EACH ALLSPICE & CINNAMON
MIX SUGAR & OIL, ADD EGGS, ADD FLOUR, ADD SPICES ADD PLUMS BAKE 1 HOUR 10 MIN AT 350
(MAKES 2 LOAVES, OR ONE BUNDT PAN)
Now that I have successfully made Banana Bread and Plum Bread, my next bread adventure is going to be Pumpkin Bread (recipe courtesy of my friend, Rachel). I plan to make this one next week and bring it to our Thanksgiving dinner. I'll let you know how it turned out and post the recipe after Thanksgiving.
Agency, hope, and momentum

It is by far the best bread EVER
Very interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of this bread! Hey, you can always freeze the other loaf if you end up with too much you know! I think there are a couple of frozen loaves of Banana bread in my freezer now!
We're making Pumpkin Bread this afternoon!!
