The original recipe for this Blender banana bread came out of a 1978 cookbook. We have updated it and its version is a stress-free, healthier alternative.

Bread is something that this Lifestylist always thinks of as time-consuming and difficult to make. I love a good, crusty loaf of bread with some Kerry Gold Butter - simple and delicious. I checked out my pantry and saw that I have the two basic ingredients you need to make bread - yeast and flour. I usually use the quick rise type because it’s easier to use, and fortunately for me, my mother is an expert bread maker, so I have some fail-safe tips that I always use.

Have you ever opened up a bottle of wine or champagne and didn’t drink all of it? Believe it or not, this Lifestylist has, especially, Champagne. I hate to waste things, so I have been looking for some great solutions on how to use these that might not be optimum for drinking but still have a lot of taste and bubbles left in them.
