Vegan Banana Bread + Strawberry Spread

What do you do with Bananas that are too ripe, with brown spots and not looking too appetizing? Well, today I decided to make Banana bread. It took so little time to prepare it and made a delicious lunch snack! We had it with Strawberry spread and coffee with Cashew creamer (find recipe in my previous blog post).

On my days off from my Spa, I spend great amount of  time in the kitchen. I LOVE when our house smells like fresh made cookies, roasted garlic or a strong strawberry aroma, when I am making preserves…

Today my husband made me laugh to tears. I just made the Strawberry spread, my new creation, and brought to taste. He liked it, and started guessing what ingredients I used for it. He was so “off” the track, that I started laughing. Victor looked at me a little worried,” wait a minute, did you make a new face mask and made me eat it?” Can you tell that I make more in my kitchen then just the food??? Yes, many creations were born in our family kitchen, edible and beautifying!
