Homemade Convenience Food Series #2: Banana Bread

October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 bubblebathselfempowerment

I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings before work and never feel like doing food prep so it’s wonderful to be able to just grab and go.

Since being single, I can’t count the number of times I’ve made banana bread and ended up throwing some of it away because it got stale before I could eat it all.

So now what I do is make a loaf, or even two, let it cool, slice and freeze in individual plastic bags, leaving a portion to eat fresh that day. I’ll do it on the weekend when I have time and enjoy cooking.

Then all I have to do is grab one or two to take to work. By the time break or lunch hits, it’s thawed. I’ll bring a small container with some butter too.

Any banana bread recipe will do. I use the one I’ve always used from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

This could be done with any quick bread recipe!

The pandemic brought a lot of awareness to me about climate change, food shortages, how quickly our hospitals could colapse and more. This has sent me on a mission of becoming self-sustainable, empowered and working to help heal the earth. That is what the focus of this blog has become. The main way I'm working at this is through building a food forest and documenting as much as possible in hopes to inspire others. The more of us that do this, the more it will help heal the earth. When we buy produce from the grocery store, it was grown through monoculture, and that leads to use of chemicals that goes onto our food and into our planet, destroying soil. If we grow our own through permaculture (a food forest), we give the soil health. We also give ourselves health by growing organic foods and herbs that contribute to our health. There's a lot more to this, but this touches the surface. I'm only one year into this but my food forest is growing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
