Spotlight Tuesday

Welcome to the first addition of Spotlight Tuesday! We were wanting to feature some of our favorite cooking products or just some random facts that have made cooking easy.

First up Demarle at Home. I'm sure many of you are familiar with Pampered Chef or even Tubberware. It wasn't until 2012 when I was first introduced to the Demarle brand. I went to a girl party not knowing what to expect and from the first cooking demonstration I was hooked. If I didn't have a million other things going on and crossing things off my to-do list I would become a consultant. I am an avid Pyrex user and never really trusted the flexible molds nor did I have an interest. Let me tell you after I saw the consultant slide out a quiche I was hooked.
B was even a little skeptical at first, but let me tell you after the first cheesecake I rolled out of the mold and everything stood in place he was even hooked.

A couple of our favorites are:

The slilpat: This is the best cooking mat anyone could ask for. Our first encounter was trying to make cheese fries on this and we burnt the food. B was a little worried he made a mess, but I just showed up by letting it all slide down that no harm was done. It's really easy to clean and we just love using it!

The roul'pat: This has definitely been a saver on our flour use whenever a recipe calls for us to roll something out and cover the counters with flour. This product really helps with making sure nothing sticks and clean up is just as easy. No flour mess here!

Flexi-molds: I really can't get enough of the different kind of molds. Breads, cakes, and anything else you could imagine just comes out so much easier. Once again clean up is so easy.

I hope you can find a consultant if your really interested in trying this brand and develop a love for this like we have. I have found the silpat available at Bed Bath and Beyond, but the size is limited in which they carry.

Banana Banana Bread Recipe

This past week we just didn't get to our bananas. Instead of throwing them out I was determined to make banana bread. This was my first time and a little nervous on how it would turn out.

Banana Banana Bread 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 (I used 5 bananas)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. (I used my fluted loaf mold from Demarle.)
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. (I used my Demarle mold and only cooked it for 50 minutes.)

I felt the recipe was easy to follow while getting to enjoy some yummy bread. 

I just love this mold.
