Breakfast Adventures!

My new discovery this week was the wonderful Kraft Kitchens website. They have this fun little feature where you can type in ingredients and it will magically give you recipes that you might actually want to make without running down to the store to grab things you don't already possess.

Today, Kaydee and I were hanging around the kitchen before we headed off to do more research (library intro lab for her, oral history and Venezuelan revolutionary history readings for me), kind of hungry, and in that aforementioned state of mind where neither one of us really wanted to run five blocks down the street to get whatever missing ingredients we required. This recipe, thanks to Kraft Kitchens, was the happy result.

We modified it slightly, by using four eggs instead of six, and using veggie sausages instead of chopped ham.

We also made this amazing banana bread thanks to noabsolutes' recipe posted on bakebakebake a couple of weeks back.

Mash three bananas. Then add:

1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon. baking powder
1/4 cup oil (we replaced this with applesauce)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Pour into a loaf pan (or, if you are us, a cake pan because my loaf pan is still at my momma's) and sprinkle with a bit more sugar (if you want a fun crust). Bake between 45 minutes and an hour at 350.

We consumed both of these with some green tea. Perfect pre-studying noms.
