Blueberry-Banana-Pecan Bread

Blueberry-Banana-Pecan Bread

I made this for Sunday school last Sunday, and everyone said it was really good! Of course, they are all way too kind to say otherwise! ;
This bread is very moist! It was a great way to use up some bananas that were needing to be used. I was also able to put to use some of the locally-grown blueberries and pecans I have in my freezer, which need using, as well. This recipe makes two large loaves. Be sure to share one!

Blueberry-Banana-Pecan Bread

1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1½ cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
1½ cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1½ cups sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat two 9-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
If using fresh berries, rinse and drain. Do not thaw frozen berries.
Cream beat the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
Add the bananas and sour cream; mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture.
Dust blueberries and pecan with a bit of flour and fold the blueberries into to batter.
Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool before slicing

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
