I love baking. I really wish I didn’t, but I do. Spending time to make tasty treats always feels like time well spent, but I know I should be cooking something healthy-ish. My favourite thing to make is blueberry banana bread. If you’ve made banana bread before you know that when bananas are overripe they are PERFECT for baking banana bread.
