This sourdough discard banana bread has become one of my favorite things to make in the late summer. It has all the delicious banana flavor, of course, but the cinnamon and brown sugar creates a little nod to fall! I’ve also discovered that bananas can last for ages in the fridge, so when they’re starting to look a little overripe, I toss them in the back of the fridge where they can hang out until I’m ready to bake. I’ve really enjoyed a slice of this banana bread with a hot Chai in the morning, or after dinner with a little bit of vanilla ice cream.

The from scratch kitchen is a dance! Using up the old, finding ways to respurpose things, or having the creativity to pivot are essential skills. Because who is wasting food in this economy?
Not me! Im constantly looking through what I have and finding new ways to ferment, preserve, or rework ingredients. This keeps our kitchen very frugal which of course helps the grocery budget! Plus theres always the compost if we really cant make something work!
What frugal things are you making right now?

People have been using tallow on their skin for millenia. It may be a trend now, but its really just an old fashioned remedy. Its funny how even the skincare industry wants to convince us that they discovered it as a trending ingredient 😡
I always recommend going back to the old ways, so thats why we are learning tallow balm this week! Ive been making this recipe for years and its as close as you can get to perfect 😘 hope you enjoy.
Almost forgot: comment TALLOW and ill send it to you!

They won't magically replace your 9-5, but learning traditional skills can fill the void your desk job may be creating.
In corporate America, we're most valuable to companies when we don't know how to do things, so we keep buying their products and relying on robots to think for us. But Humans are designed to create things with our hands and hearts. <– this is why you may be feeling dissatisfied with modern life: because we can all sense that we're increasingly dependent and undernourished.
I don't want to live that way, and neither do you. So it's time to learn some old fashioned skills that no one can take away from us.
I'm talking: sewing, cooking from scratch, preserving and fermenting, growing your own food, fixing things, foraging, and more!
If this sounds like your kind of rebellion, follow along to join the fight!

Don't throw away your sourdough discard: make banana bread instead!
Chocolate chips are technically optional, but not for me 😉 I always use dark chocolate for a more balanced flavor.
