During covid, we all went through a banana bread phase. It was like a form of expression as we baked our emotions out into these loaves. I decided to shake up the normal recipe and add chocolate chip and walnut to the banana bread.

Ingredients:
Banana
Butter
Yogurt
Sugar
Eggs
Vanilla
Flour
Baking powder
Salt
Chocolate chips
Walnuts

Directions:

Mash 4 bananas then whisk in 6 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/3 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of sugar, 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla until well combined.
In a different bowl, whisk the 2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. After combined add flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine. Then add mini chocolate chips and crushed coconut walnuts. After combined, put into pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, checking regularly until done.

This bottom dweller will typically cost top dollar, but that didn’t always used to be the case.

Lobsters used to wash up in piles up to two feet high in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Due to the hight quantity they became known as the poor mans meal. They were used as fertilizer and fish bait by Native Americans and colonists alike as well as were fed to slaves and prisoners. During the 1880’s, prices began to rise as lobster became more popular in areas like New York City and Boston until becoming a delicacy after WWII.
