Banana Bars…

September 3, 2009

This week’s recipe for Mango Bread was chosen by Kelly of Baking with the Boys. Since we are not really mango fans, I decided to go ahead with the TwD recipe and just make some drastic changes! I was actually not going to make this recipe, but since I flubbed last week’s tart, I figured [...]

Let me start by saying I hate the word moist…always have, always will. It’s one of those words that makes my nose wrinkle.
