Sunday afternoon baking.... Some days I have an overwhelming desire to bake. Because my work revolves around food, nutrition and recipes I MUST bake cakes that TASTE AMAZING but are also REALLY GOOD FOR YOU. I can hear you grinning friends. Yes, don't worry I do eat (and enjoy) chocolate, regular standard deliciously good cakes and desserts .. so I'm not a complete health nut. I believe that no food is bad - all food is good, in moderation. I just love the challenge of creating delicous food that is also nutrtionally awesome... On Sunday I had one of these baking urges... if you also have baking urges, or just love food that makes you feel really good, I invite you to try it. Your body and soul will love it. Why this banana bread is so good..
