Taste and Create 9

Posted By Allison On June 30, 2008 @ 11:42 pm In Other Recipes | 6 Comments

This month, I am way late for Taste and Create [1]. Not kidding. About a week late by now. You see, I was moving, so my entire kitchen is in boxes right now, which doesn’t make for much cooking. And then, I tried making my partner’s Fried Zucchini Parmesan Sticks with Chipotle Mayonnaise [2] at my parents’ house, but I completely murdered the recipe, and had to start over. Which created another delay. Luckily, my partner for this month, More Than Burnt Toast [3], was very understanding (and she actually made something from my blog this month! For the last three months my partners have forgotten about me… so this is extra special!) as was Nicole [4], the amazing woman who puts together Taste and Create every month.

Although the loss of the zucchini was a sad one, I’m actually quite glad that I had to try another recipe. This Crater Banana Bread with chocolate chips is so rich and amazing… the only way to describe it is as an ooey gooey mess of chocolatey banana deliciousness. Perfect with a scoop of ice cream or a big ice cold glass of milk.
