Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Banana Sour Cream Bread

Posted by Kendall Jones Tags:
What to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon? Well, when you have 6 ripe bananas like me, you make Banana Nut Bread.


I found a recipe on allrecipes.com that sounded great!! I made a few modifications to it:

-Added dash of nutmeg and ground cloves
-Made 3 loaves in 8.5" pans instead of 4
-Baked at 325 instead of 300
-Used electric mixer on wet ingredients and added the flour by hand
-Added a crumbly topping:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 tbsp softened butter
1 tsp cinnamon
(mix together with fork, spoon on top of loaves before baking)

It turned out wonderfully! However, I baked 3 loaves and the one in the middle caved in after a few minutes of being out of the oven (see below). Still tastes good, but I should have left him in a little longer than the others. Oh well! Adventures in baking!





Update 11/8/10: A few notes now that I've made this quite a few times: It is outstanding! And yes, be sure to leave the center loaf in a little longer, maybe cover with aluminum foil to keep it from getting too brown on top.

I've had people tell me it's the best banana bread they've ever had. Ever. WOW- what a compliment!

Yumm that bread looks great. When I get back to cooking I look forward to trying some of your blog recipes!! YES we got your package just now! You are so sweet and thoughtful. I LOVE it. I have never seen those and the colors match our car seat PERFECTLY. It is already on our car seat and it really makes it easier to lug that thing around when you have that soft cloth right there! Thanks!!
