Snack Bread

Back to school means back to BUSY Sundays.

Hit Whole Foods at 8 AM, unpacked and then took the big guys to their 9:30 piano lessons.  Dropped them off and ran to get a manicure. 

Came home and my husband took the baby to pick up his mom and visit his grandma.  I cleaned and baked until 1:30 when I had to take my middle guy to a birthday party.

Got home and the big boys helped me make spinach and fresh tomato lasagna for their dinner.  They also randomly asked if I could make them pumpkin pie the other day.  We only do dessert on Sunday so I decided to surprise them with a recipe I found in this month's Taste of Home Magazine called Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie. 

As for the rest of my baking.  I have a jar of jam in my fridge that hasn't moved - my kids don't like PB&J (can't blame them - I hate it too!).  Since I usually bake a treat for their after school snack I googled "banana jam bread" just to see if there was such a thing.  Sure enough I found a recipe for Banana Jam Bread.  I threw in chocolate chips for good measure.

Also when I made the pumpkin pie I had leftover pumpkin so made two more loaves for Easy One Bowl Pumpkin Bread. 

Top two banana jam loaves and bottom two are chocolate chip pumpkin bread

My freezer is now stocked with 3 loaves so I can take a week or two off from baking!
