Winter always puts me in a baking mood, but I confess the giddiness starts the moment the seasons change from Summer to Fall. While I'm not someone who shops for Christmas in June, I do secretly start celebrating the holiday season the day after my birthday (which is before Halloween even), so it's no surprise to me that the baking bug has started nudging around the kitchen these days. Besides, gray, rainy days call for something warm and yummy ... and being in Seattle, we're never short a rainy day so I think I'll have plenty of opportunities to get flour all over myself. Anyway, this was my very first banana bread ever, so I thought I'd dress her up, and take a picture. It actually turned out, and the rikkis liked the end cuts too!
