Cranberry (or Blueberry!) Banana Bread

This is a dense, rich, sweet quick bread. I have made it with superfine white sugar and All Purpose flour which also comes out nicely.

Heart Healthy - a change

I make a lot of bread around here...pizza, naan, no knead, and regular sandwich bread. But I need to start eating more whole grains and fish to keep an eye on my health as father time ticks away. I've joined the JanuaryRules challenge because this fit with my goals. I am looking forward to reading the posts from the community of cooks and learn about new foods and recipes!

Meanwhile, today I made a simple salad of roasted sweet potato (I cheated and zapped it in the microwave), quinoa, and dried blueberries. The dressing was EVOO, balsamic, honey, curry powder, and sunflower seeds. Yum!

Happy New Year!

For New Year's eve dinner we made pizzas. I made the 8-hour pizza dough from Cook's Illustrated and then topped with various yummy cheese, veggies, and other fun stuff.
