Tasty Banana Bread with Dried Cherries

 

Tweaking a classic banana bread 

works for me, 

particularly when 

dried cherries are in the mix!

 

 

As bananas ripen to their prime squishiness ~ when they are barely yellow ~ but streaked with black and brown, even solid black, that’s the time to make banana bread.  

 

Roasted Acorn Squash with Smoked Paprika

 

When the temperature dips
and the leaves are changing,
it’s time to cook heartier food!

 

An excellent accompaniment to roasted chicken and meats ~ this squash side dish is tasty, not to mention colorful.
