Quick Breads
Friday October 5, 2007
When I was in college, there were a few cafeteria foods I really loved. One was 'Nordic Munch', a ham and cheese sandwich that had just the right combination of textures and flavors, and another was the banana bread that was served every Sunday night. I never did get the recipe, but the smooth, tender texture, with an even crumb and no wet spots was my ideal then. The recipe I use now for Banana Bread, an adaptation from an old cookbook, is even better than that long-lost recipe. I'm going to make some right now! Join me. Quick breads are quick and easy to make, and delicious as a snack or breakfast on the run.Photo © 2007 Linda Larsen, licensed to About.com, Inc.

Where is your recipe for the Nordic Munch?? It sounds so good! I’d love to try it. I already have the recipe for Banana Bread - in fact when I buy bananas, my son purposely doesn’t eat them - then when they are nice and brown he says, Aw Gee Mom - we didn’t eat the bananas in time - I guess you’ll just have to make banana bread now! I know I’m gonna be sending him care packages filled with banana bread next year when he goes off to college.
I wish I knew! It was a hot sandwich, with ham and Swiss cheese melted between a nice chewy roll, with some kind of dressing - probably Thousand Island. I really should try to recreate it!
Just a small favor - would you mind rating the banana bread recipe? Just go to the page with the recipe and you’ll see how to do it. Thanks so much - and I’m glad you like that recipe.
