Yummy Moist Banana Bread

This Banana Bread Recipe is from my Mom's church cookbook.  It is so good! 

Moist Banana Bread
1 ¼ cup sugar
3 eggs (separated)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp soda
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2)
½ cup butter
½ cup buttermilk
1 ½ cups flour

Dissolve soda in buttermilk. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and mix well. Blend in bananas, buttermilk and nuts. Stir in flour. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into flour mixture with vanilla. Pour into loaf pan (well greased and floured) and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. It may take a little longer than an hour. Just check center with a knife until knife comes out fairly clean.
ENJOY!!

Craftmanship Museum

I had a guest that was looking for something interesting to do and he came upon the Craftsmanship Museum.  It is located here in Carlsbad and Mr. and Mrs. Schlafman shared the information with me.  Check out their website at www.craftmashipmuseum.com . Quite interesting.  Something else fun to do when you come and stay at the Pelican Cove Inn www.pelican-cove.com.

Pelican Collection

It is so fun seeing all the different types of pelicans that people find. This one may be the inspiration for our Art Splash square. So unique!
