If this week continues with the cold we'll have one of the coldest months of February on record. On with today. Word of the day is brolly. Today is NATIONAL BANANA BREAD DAY National Banana Bread Day is celebrated annually on February 23rd. A moist, sweet, cake-like quick bread, banana bread is made with fully ripe, mashed bananas. There are some recipes where banana bread is made as a yeast bread when it is then usually sliced, toasted and spread with butter. It was with the popularization of baking soda and baking powder in the 1930′s that banana bread first became a standard feature of American cookbooks and appeared in Pillsbury’s 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook. Banana bread later gained further acceptance with the release of the original Chiquita Banana’s Recipe Book in 1950. The United States saw the arrival of bananas in the 1870′s and it took a while for them before they appeared as an ingredient in desserts. Bananas were expensive and housewives did not want to throw the overripe ones away therefore during the great depression, the actual Banana Bread recipe began being published. There are many different variations of the traditional banana bread, a few of which include: Banana raisin bread – Banana nut bread – Chocolate chip banana bread To celebrate National Banana Bread Day, try one of the following “tried and true” banana bread recipes: http://www.food.com/recipe/buttermilk-banana-bread-121840 http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-sour-cream-bread/ http://www.food.com/recipe/applesauce-banana-bread-151301 http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-chocolate-chip-bread/ http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peanut-b ... colate-chip-banana-bread/ NATIONAL BANANA BREAD DAY HISTORY Within our research, we were unable to find the origin and creator of National Banana Bread Day, an “unofficial” national holiday.
