Blueberry Banana Bread
It has been so long since I posted a recipe but now that we are somewhat settled into our new home I am hoping to bake more with Ariyana. She loves baking and it is a great way for the two of us to spend quality time together. On Sunday it was snowing here in DC so we relaxed at home and took a break from unpacking boxes. Ariyana and I made this delicious blueberry banana bread and it was so good that it is pretty much all gone today! Blueberry banana bread is perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon snack with an espresso or cup of tea.
