This is an ultra quick no yeast bread that can be rustled up in under an hour - that's preparation, mixing and baking. It includes a slightly unusual ingredient - Greek Yogurt, but it's the yogurt that gives the bread a wonderful flavour and keeps it moist for a couple of days. I decided to put some toasted pine nuts in this one, although other nuts would work equally well, as would fresh chopped herbs, sun dried tomatoes, olives and dried fruit. The combinations are endless. Just use the quantities as a base recipe and go and experiment.

I put an SOS out on twitter the other day regarding some black bananas I had in the fruit bowl.  The Ginger Gourmand came to my rescue when she suggested I try her recipe for Banana and Walnut Bread . I tinkered as usual and on my daughters request used one of her milk chocolate Easter Eggs instead of the nuts. The result is a wonderfully moist bread, which gets better after a few days in the tin!

Ultimate Chocolate Cake or what! The funny thing is I really didn't mean to make it, it just sort of happened. I had a pot of Soured Cream in the fridge which was about to go out of date (I can't remember for what recipe I had originally purchased it for), did some googling.... and the rest as they say is history. Lowen, with a chocolate covered mouth muttered something about wanting this cake for her birthday (3 weeks and counting), so with a bit of fairy magic I will transform it into the perfect birthday cake for a fairy loving 3 year old - adorned with edible glitter, smarties and hundreds and thousands.....can't wait!
