BANANA BREAD WITH BUTTERSCOTCH
Do you ever get inspired to cook or bake from a movie? There’s one in particular that sends me rushing to pull out the pots and pans, and strangely, make me think of bananas. That movie is “It’s Complicated” (remember Meryl Streep in that swoon-worthy kitchen?)
Years ago, my Saturday routine was to be at the grocery store by 6 am, get my weekly shopping done and be back home by 8 am to start cooking all my make- ahead meals for the next week. (I spent about 60 hours a week at work back then). Before I even unpacked, I would pop the movie into the DVD player and listen while I got organized.
