kitchen aide.

We finally made the big bloggy move. Welcome. To celebrate, I thought I would share with you a little taste of bananay heaven. In our house this is known as Ridiculously Good Banana Bread. Nate requests it for his birthday treat every year. Claire has recently started helping. Turning the mixer on full-blast makes her day. Here's the recipe:
Preheat oven to 300.
Grease 4 pans and dust with cinnamon sugar
Cream together:
3/4 c. butter
3 c. sugar
Add:
3 eggs
6 old bananas
16 oz sour cream
2 t. vanilla
2 t. cinnamon
one good shake cardamom
Mix in:
1/2 t. salt, 3 t. soda, 4 1/2 c. flour
Stare in amazement at the mixer.
Divide into four pans and bake for 1 hour.
Sometimes at this point I add a crumb topping* which is equal parts flour, melted butter and brown sugar. At this point, I should also stop calling this a bread, because come on, it's a giant fatty cake.

Eat. Share with friends.

*Nate calls the crumb topping crusty goodness. Because that is exactly what it is.

Kim, Nope, we're still in this same old house (for a long time, I would bet)...but, we moved the blog to iderdider.com. This has been something I've been planning to do for months and finally got around to.

So are you saying you add the crumb topping BEFORE or AFTER you cook it?????? I'm making some now - although not your exact recipe.

crumb topping before cooking.

I didn't check your blog for a couple of days and thought two things when I just opened the page to your blog.

1) I want your mixer.

2) Makayla was staring in amazement at the washing machine while it was agitating. (It continues to stay on even with the lid open). With an open mouth, she kept gasping in astonishment!

Our babies are too much! :)

The time for big fatty cake has come and gone. I will not be enjoying it.
I am trying not to become a big fatty Kim. I can handle little fatty Kim.

Richie says hi with a big smile, from behind the thumb in his mouth.
