Hoping everyone had a safe and fun Memorial Day celebration. We practiced social distancing, having a backyard picnic with friends who live nearby. We enjoyed burgers, potato salad a green salad and of course, wine.
Dessert was a first attempt at Smitten Kitchen's Marbled Banana bread (something I've been itching to bake ever since I saw the recipe) which although delicious, moist and a perfect combination of chocolate and banana, was insufficiently swirled resulting in more of a checkerboard look than a marbled look... however, the flavors were spot on and oh so scrumptious!
We didn't have any buns for the burgers so the no knead bread recipe made delicious tortas which we used instead... so glad for the yeast ordered a few weeks back.
The potato salad was a mash up (pun intended) of a recipe from Ina Garten and the hubs Mom's potato salad. It came out so tasty with a dressing made from lemon juice and zest, Dijon mustard and good mayonnaise... red potatoes, red onion & celery were the components and the extra dressing left from the potato salad mixed with red wine vinegar and oil made for a yummy green salad dressing. All in all a successful day.
How was your day? And what's on your plate? (Photos welcomed and appreciated)
