Your best "healthy" banana bread recipe please
the cooking light Classic is my go-to as well -- I add a dash of cinnamon and a few choc chips and then cut back the sugar just a bit to keep from making it overly sweet. You would never guess it was a "healthy" version. I use white whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. It's perfect for a pre-soccer snack or even breakfast on the run
Date night dinner near Asheville NC
Thanks to both for recs. We ended up in Hendersonville at Square 1. Never Blue was very busy & we had limited time. Very nice meal. Good bottle of Meritage from small but I thought well-selected wine list. I had local trout crusted in sunflower seeds with a sweet potato/carrot puree and sauteed kale (one of my favorite veggie combos). Husband had the house-made sausages with side of collard greens. Sausages came with leek/mushroom saute and mashed potatoes. I have rarely seen him leave food on his plate -- not because he didn't enjoy it, he was actually full. Good service but they were not busy while we were there.
Am curious why I never see Bouchon (Asheville) on here? Was there on a visit in February and had a lovely meal. All you can eat mussel night with a bottle of house wine would be an irresistible draw for me if I didn't get deathly ill 9 out of 10 times eating mussels. Will get back soon and provide a review.
Date night dinner near Asheville NC
Moved to South Asheville 1 month ago - getting out for first time without kids! This weekend is Bele Chere in Asheville so will bring the kids during the day Sat or Sun - but would rather skip the crowds for our night out. Recs for date-worthy restaurants within driving distance? We'll have 4 hours total for dinner and drive - so thinking Hendersonville, Brevard.... great food, nice wine list, something besides "new american" and no chains. Have checked the postings - lots of great recs for Asheville but want to skip the crowds. Thanks
