The Best Banana Nut Bread Ever!

It is easy to make and is delicious as a snack, breakfast, mid-day coffee break treat, late night dessert, the list goes on and on. One of my all time favorite quick breads is banana bread. This recipe has been with me for years and I have made tweaks here and there.

Quick and Easy Breakfasts On the Go
Your momma always told you that breakfast was the most important meal of the day, but some days if it isn’t from a sack you aren’t getting it.

Hello! We are Cookies and Cream the Holsteins!
Cookies and Cream the Holsteins came to the farm at about three weeks of age. They were small and sweet and still on the bottle. The boys picked them from the group of ten and said they were ours. I will never forget the ride home with them the night we picked them up. My husband sprawled in the back of the F-150 holding them as we drove to their new home away from their brothers. We got home, in the early dusk. He hopped out covered in cow manure because the little guys had been so scared. That was the beginning! The kids fell in love with them. We…

Bless my heart, I thought it would only take us three weeks! When you add up the actual hours, it probably…

Hello! I’m Archie the Donkey!
“Hello! I’m Archie the Donkey! I am a three year old Jerusalem Donkey. Hackett Hill Farm became my new home in November of 2020 when I came to live with my new family the Young’s.

Everyone says I am a little grumpy, but I just like a nice quiet life on my North Hill of Hackett Hill Farm. Thanks for stopping by to read the story of how I came to this hill.” All About the Animals As I was feeding one…
