Oooh-kay, so you already know that we travel miles and miles, just so that I can stock up on my favorite Trader Joe's products. Yeah, yeah, there's a little bit of lunacy involved here, along with a lot of ingredient obsessions. A girl's just gotta do what she's gotta do. Well...
Things have improved. We no longer have to go to the Danbury store, 'cause lo and behold, one opened in Albany... a direction we actually travel in to see our distant Babes. Perfect. Sooooo...
After welcoming Lyla and before heading home, last week, we made a little stop. We'd missed the August 3rd opening. Christian tells me it was a lallapalooza - mass bedlam, with the need to hire local law enforcement to direct traffic and hot tempers in even hotter temperatures. By the time we arrived, there was only one police officer and lots of happy campers, just like us.
Inspired by a grinder of TJ's cinnamon 'n' sugar and a brand new bag of Sam's bargain berries, I decided to make nutritious muffins from the too-ripe bananas perfuming my kitchen. You know what to do...
Just add a cup of frozen berries to your favorite banana bread recipe... and try subbing light brown sugar for white. Don't forget to add walnuts; there's nothing like a little crunch. YUM!
