Go bananas with this Peanut Butter Apple Banana Bread sure to delight your palate. Banana bread is one of my favorite baked goods. When I was putting this recipe together I thought, “How could I justify this recipe?”. The answer was simple, I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter (that’s me, Justin), honey apples, apple sauce, bananas, and my not-so-secret ingredient, love, for a truly exquisite loaf of banana bread.

 

Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles in a round white bowl with wooden chopsticks with fresh ginger in the background

Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples. My Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles come together in the time it takes you to cook noodles and taste way better than anything you’ll order on an app or pull out of your freezer. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I forget to make dinner on purpose so that I have an excuse to make this dish!
