Apple Banana Cranberry Bread

Drag show at the route 6 diner in Hastings, Nebraska

Oh man this was so much fun! Luna and I met up with some friends there. I wish I had gotten pictures but I was just so taken by all the fun things happening around me. 

I only managed to take one photo of myself before heading out for the evening of fun. 

The girls performance was amazing. I am absolutely enthralled by Giselle Jacobs stage presence. She was magnificent as well as the other people there too. The crowds was absolutely LOVING IT.

I am excited about going to see them perform again. 

After the show closed we made our way to Wanda's because karaoke and cheap booze. I realized I left my credit card at rt 6. That totally sucks. I still haven't been back there to get it. 

Matt and Alex are outside smoking a cigarette here. It was a gorgeous night. They didn't do karaoke then again neither did I. 

I danced a little bit. Someone should get a video of this because it's silly as hell.

I was absolutely tired by the time I got home. I wished I had had something delicious to eat. When I woke up today I looked up this recipe and made it.

• 3/4 cups of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp of vegetable oil

• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 12 cranberries
• 2 apples peeled, cored and chopped
• 2 bananas mashed

1. grease a loaf pan. Pre-heat the oven 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, sugar, salt. 
3. In another mixing bowl combine eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, apple and banana stir in the dry ingredients until combined. 
4. Pour into the pan and then top with 12 cranberries and push them down into the batter. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.

I located this recipe and tweaked it a little bit to fit the ingredients that i had on hand. Her blog is far more organized than mine, haha and she has yummy pictures of this tasty treat.

Her recipe called for salt and i totally spaced on adding that. Sometimes that sort of thing happens to me. Sigh. Oh well. She also added baking powder which I did not have, however I did have cream of tartar. I learned today what baking powder really is. 

The difference between baking soda and baking powder

I'm taking the information straight from there. Both of these ingredients are used to make things rise, such as breads. If you do not have baking powder you can use 2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part baking soda instead. 

So i forgot to add the salt, silly me. Last recipe I forgot to add the brown sugar. Salt is a very important part of this recipe. haha. oh boy. 

Gosh this picture looks soo inviting! It really came out delicious, but I absolutely hate the cranberries in it. Hmm, oh well.
