BACON makes everything better

[morleyroarly]

A big pot of this is currently simmering on the stove. Any soup recipe that involves half a pound of bacon is fine by me. I added curry powder, thyme, basil flakes, parsley flakes and chicken bullion. I substituted red potatoes for regular potatoes. To be topped with green onions. Delish!

Next up: a loaf of banana bread with raspberries added.

God bless carbohydrates!

My favorite banana bread, that I've made DOZENS of times, is here:

My comments on the recipe are as such:

This is my favorite banana bread recipe! It's light and fluffy, and has lots of flavor for a lower fat banana bread.

I like to add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and occasionally a splash of vanilla extract.

I also like to add any of the following: a cup of frozen berries (blueberries and raspberries are best), 1/2 cup walnuts and/or peccans, 1/2 cup finely chopped candied ginger, 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips.

For an extra lush version, top it with fresh lemon juice and dust it with sugar.

Goes great for breakfast, toasted, and smothered in fresh applesauce.
