This week I leave on my Euro Trip baby!!! I am so excited and so blessed to be able to visit my family in England again AND go on a cruise around the Mediterranean. Does life get much better? I think NOT!

Needless to say this week I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off. There is never enough time in the day. But that’s okay because come Thursday night I will be on a plane headed to London. Whenever we are in London we HAVE to go to Ben’s Cookies. We are those obnoxious people that buy loads of cookies. Everyone else buys one and then there is us…. “Can I have two of those, three of those and let me take 4 of those ones” LOL oops. We’re on holiday so calories don’t count. But when your holiday lasts as long as mine that is probably not the best motto… YOLO

Back at home, I have been trying to not splurge as much…but then things like this happen and how can I not?

I’ve also been trying to use up a lot of my ingredients, insert Pineapple Tidbits from Trader Joes. I had a half-open bag I wanted to get rid of so I thought to myself why not throw it in banana bread?! I love how moist and delicious pineapple is in carrot cake. So I added it. And BAM! I loved it. What a wonderful flavor.

Ahhh, let me just say…. yum! This is like hummingbird cake but without the coconut and cream cheese icing. delicious in every sense of the word! Oh, and I agree that you can never have too many variations on banana bread. So good.
