Chocolate bark, pepitas, and forgotten bananas bread.

This one comes together quick and easy, you don't want to over mix this. First grab two bowls and a bread pan.

In one of your mixing bowls combine;

4 tbsp of softened (but not melted) butter

4 tbsp vegetable oil

4 over ripened bananas

2 large eggs

2 tbsp vanilla

Handful of chopped chocolate and some nuts. How much and what kind is between you and your god.

Mine was some "s'mores bark", and the last of a bag of pumpkin seeds.

Mash and mix this.

In a separate bowl mix;

1 & 1/2 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 cup sugar (I used a mix of brown, white, and molasses. But just brown or just white still works. Use what you got handy)

1 tsp salt

Healthy dash each of nutmeg(fresh microplaned really does make a difference), clove, allspice, and cinnamon.

Fold dry into wet gently 1/3 at a time.

And finally bake for an hour @ 350°F/177°C.

Let sit for an hour for the crumb to set. Slice and serve with butter or cream cheese. Or both, who am I to keep you from living your best life?

Chili in July

Had some veggies about to go bad and a bunch of spices I was at the last little bit, so I made this 3 bean chili.

Can of dark red kidney beans, can of diced tomatoes, one diced Roma tomato, can of tomato paste, one small yellow onion diced, 6 jalapeños(pith removed from half), half pound of ground beef, handful of black beans, handful of pinto beans, five cloves of garlic finely minced, healthy amount of garlic powder, pinch of fennel seed ground up, 3 dried thai bird chilies ground up, last of my paprika, last of my cumin, last of my cayenne, salt & pepper to taste reserving some pepper for garnish if using sour cream (I just think it looks fancy).

Sour cream and green onions optional but recommended.
