April at last!


For some reason  I have done very little baking.  It may be my new part time job that has had me crazy scrambling for activities to do with the odd 100 kids I see each week. But if you look back to last year March is really a slow down time for baking.  This weekend has certainly been the exception.  I made a banana bread on Friday after only four hours sleep and a wicked morning ride to Stratham!  This bread is a recipe from my new favorite baking book.  Thanks to my niece Kim who gave me a copy of 

Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Cafe [Hardcover]

I have currently only tried two recipes but have made both twice!  
today just seemed right to make an apple walnut bread which just came out of the oven!
