A good coffee, a toasted slice of Banana bread and ready for the day!
A song that reminds me my teenage years: The Beautiful Ones by Suede.

Acorn in the Kitchen 
I love banana bread. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was young. I still have her recipe.
It’s been a recent discovery for me. It is not a popular cake in Spain. I have to try it with bananas from the Canary Islands…
You’re killing me slowly .. with all you wonderful breads – this … is just a must for me too. My file is overfilled already. Thanks a million, like bananas like a monkey.
Thank you! And it is extremely easy!
I will start with this .. for the weekend and wait with the olive one. Will come back to you.
looks yummy as usual!
Thanks!;)
My Mimi used to make this for me for every occasion. One year, I hadn’t seen her in a while, and she had four loaves ready for me. “Happy Birthday. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. And Happy Valentines” she said. I ate three of them on the car ride home to Dallas.
I have her recipe, but I don’t make it because I’m afraid of screwing it up. It won’t be as good without the love she put in it. I should try your recipe instead.
Great song by the way!
Thank you. That is the trick, love and passion in the food.
I am dying to try banana bread but they keep eating the bananas here and won’t let any get a bit tired. I live in hope. Yours looks beautiful.
Best,
Conor
So, i did a search for acorn recipes. I have some, but can use more. I was surprised that many things came up and none had acorns. Well, I didn’t review all of them. Do any contain actual acorns? If not, what is meant by acorn in my kitchen? Thank you.

In Spain, we fed the Iberico pigs with acorns. And that is how you get the best cured ham in the world. I don’t know any recipe with acorns. I tried them raw, they are sweet but not the nicest thing. The Acorn was the name of a food business we had for a while, that is where the name of the blog is coming from.
Oh interesting on the ham. What I do know of acorns, is they make a very tasty and exceptionally nutritious flour or coarsely ground substance for making breads, etc. Google to learn more.
you’ve been a baking machine this week!
It looks delicious! I’m planning to make banana-chocolate bread tomorrow 🙂
Thanks!
Excellent looking banana bread and I remember the song too! 🙂
Thank you!
Yum! I love anything with banana in it…delicious!

Apologies for the delay coming back to you. At 175 degrees it will be ideal.
