Cooler cooking

As the evenings have started to get a little cooler, the thought of standing over a hot oven has become a little easier to bear. This means I’ve been making a bit more of an effort on the old food front. Having some manky bananas and not wanting to make the usual banana brownies I searched around and found a couple of recipes, one for banana bread cookies and one for banana and sultana loaf. The cookies were (and still are) a great success

however the loaf was not such a success. It tastes fine but its appearance leaves a lot to be desired hence there is no photo. I don’t think it was the fault of the recipe more operator error due to the fact that whilst I was trying to work out weights and measures I had a cat screaming at me for food and a small child constantly talking drivel!
Last night I made cheeseless macaroni which tastes great (not to junior of course who viewed it with distaste and a wrinkle of her nose).

The recipe didn’t state how many it was for so we’ve got plenty left for lunch today which is no bad thing. Saves me having to think of what to make.
I’m currently awaiting the arrival of a breadmaker, something I’ve been meaning to get for years but which is even more necessary over here as the cost of buying fresh bread soon adds up. I’m hoping the instructions will be in english as well as greek or God knows what will end up coming out!
