I made the "Easy Refrigerator Cucumber Salad" and am reposting it. Tim LOVES the recipe:)

Very colorful and so easy to make.


I made 3 jar of the Cucumber Salad and a loaf of Best Ever Banana Bread by Gemma at Bigger Bolder Baking. Very good day:)

Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups ( 71/2oz/ 225g) all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • ⅔ cup (5oz/150g) sugar
  • ¾ cup (2¼oz/67g) rolled oats (preferably quick-cooking)
  • ¼ cup (2floz/60ml) flavorless oil (canola, vegetable, sunflower oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup (21/2floz/75ml) milk
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350oF (180oC)
  2. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt)
  4. In a large bowl, combine your wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil, vanilla and mashed bananas)
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix by hand just until combined. Do not over mix as this can make the banana bread tough.
  6. Pour the banana bread batter into the pan and bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick or cake-tester comes out clean. Enjoy!
  7. Store at room temperature wrapped in cling wrap for up to 3 days.





A "vintage train" ride. Enjoy the sounds of long ago, ( and yes, I did get soot on me). This is a coal powered steam train.
