frozen bananas

Whenever I buy bananas, some are sure to turn brown. Then I would peel them, put them in a bag, and freeze them in hopes of one day making banana bread. I've even seen people who throw them, peel on, straight into the freezer which I would imagine is quite a mess when you thaw them. Often, I leave them in there so long that they are so freezer burned, they're almost unrecognizable so I throw them out.

I had a revelation. Why not mash them BEFORE I put them in the freezer? Then store the mashed bananas in a Freezermate pre-measured for the amount I need? This way, they don't get freezer burned and I don't have to squeeze them out of a plastic bag into a bowl when it's time to bake them. I just let the container sit on my counter to thaw, then dump them upside down into my bowl, and throw my Freezermate in the dishwasher. No waste.

The medium 1 Freezermate, which comes in the Family Set, holds the exact amount that you need in this recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

ENJOY!

The famous Tumblers and Sippy Lids

Currently, our most used Tupperware at our house is our Bell Tumblers and Sippy lids. My assistant drinks out of at least 3 a day - milk, juice, and water. They're the greatest. They are a slow flow sippy lid so they teach kids to regulate the amount of liquid coming into their mouth without that sucking motion that other sippy cups need. This way it's getting them ready for drinking out of a regular cup with no lid. And by now, my assistant can drink from a regular cup with no lid but the lids are helpful when he gets a little over excited with both milk and juice at once.

Get them as a free gift when you host a party - just let me know ahead of time that this is the gift that you're interested in!

Chips? Salad? Punch?

I was perusing a favourite blog and they featured this children's birthday party. The snacks were elegant but i couldn't help but wonder why the lemonade was in that Rubbermaid container!? It makes the table look much less classy, doesn't it? I know that non-breakables are essential at a kid's birthday party (and life with kids in general) but let's find something that's not such an eye sore on your table!

How about Tupperware's Chip N Dip bowl? Yes, the name says chips but the design says much more! I absolutely love my Chip N Dip bowl for punch at any party. It's large, pretty, and comes with a lid - what more could you want in a punch bowl?

The lid of divided into three sections so you can use it as a serving tray as well. I usually fill it up with cheese and crackers alongside my punch. And, if you choose to use the bowl for chips, it comes with two small bowls that hook onto the side of the bowl for your salsa and guacamole. These little bowls also have lids so that you can put them back in the fridge covered if they weren't finished. New flyer is coming out April 9th and there's a great special on featuring this bowl - the Fiesta Salsa Set. It comes with the ever desirable Chip N Dip, two cute chili keepers, and a packet of our Southwest Chipotle Spice. The Chip N Dip alone sells for $53.50 but this whole set is on sale for only $48! It's a very cute set - great for giving as a gift (Mother's Day? Wedding?) or for keeping for yourself for all the summer BBQs and potlucks! There are a ton of other great summery items and Mother's Day gifts in our upcoming flyer - want to get my online newsletter with the new sale flyer each month? Let me know - rebeccashulba@gmail.com
