Best banana bread recipe

I was reading earlier this week how Ben Franklin would get up every morning, and ask himself: What good will I do today? I think we’re a “me” centered society right now, so it’s important when we close our eyes at night to also reflect on the day and ask ourselves, what good did I do today?

This is where the best banana bread recipe steps in.

Do for others

I’ve been trying to reflect more on a daily basis on the little things that I can do for others. How can I add value to anyone’s life during the day, in kind words, random acts of kindness, a smile in the grocery store, a text or a phone call, sending a note or an email, helping someone out–it doesn’t have to be dramatic. And for me, many times, doing for others revolves around food. I wrote awhile back over at The Art of Simple, a post called Food is My Love Language.

Fresh blueberries are always at the local market. They are a simple healthy superfood, and a food item to keep on hand at all times. I buy them frozen, too, to use in recipes when I don’t have fresh. Blueberries in general make a moist banana bread–which is perfect for gift-giving!

You can also defrost them quickly, and bake with them for most recipes. I love this Easy Blueberry French Toast Casserole (perfect for Easter!)

Grow and share

I believe the purpose of life is to grow and to share. I think when we look back at our lives, we will get more satisfaction from the pleasure we brought into other people’s lives, than from the money we’ve earned or things we’ve accomplished. Investing in lives, even in the smallest ways, shows love, and eventually more people will want to be around us.

Which brings me back to when we had a garden for many years. I loved to give away produce, along with a sweet note, or many loaves of banana bread.

Blueberry Moist Banana Bread Recipe – 3 easy gifts to give

1. Give a jar of fresh berries, using a quart size canning jar.
2. Give a head of fresh lettuce (I put in a galvanized bucket). I included paper napkins and a bag of fresh strawberries.
3. Give a loaf of fresh banana bread with freshly picked blueberries.

It’s as simple as that.

What do people value more than your money? I say it’s your time, the way you show love, the way you listen and want to get to know them. It’s the attention to tiny details, such as a simple garden (hostess) gift.

Who needs a little touch of kindness in your life today?
