Last week I posted pictures of some of my dishes and asked what recipes you would like me to share. This first one came from BrilliantViewpoint of brillantviewpont.com:
“I love ALL of them… hard to choose… but since I am Italian and in the morning or afternoon like to have a cake that is not sweet, I like the banana bread. Being home bound, it seems we need a scone or your banana bread with tea as a treat! THANKS for all the cooking inspiration. 🙂”

Thanks so much. This has come at a good time — I’m baking more (and gaining more) but loving the smell of home-made goods.

You are making me think of Dublin… OK, off to get the ingredients for your banana bread! ❤

Haha I hope you like this banana walnut bread 🙂 I’ve never had a lemon meringue pie. Now I will strive to find it in Dublin. More recipes to come.

Here is a really nice cafe in Dublin. They had lemon meringue. Take a look. There is another place, I will have to hunt down the name. https://brilliantviewpoint.com/2017/08/18/a-little-bit-of-paris-in-dublin/

Two other places, I really like this little mall, it has some restaurants and two nice cafes: https://www.powerscourtcentre.ie/
And a cafe called, “Queen of Tarts”. https://www.queenoftarts.ie/
You probably know these places, but if not, go visit them when quarantine is lifted.

I have stepped into Powerscourt Center before and admired it’s beautiful layout. Never went to a restaurant/cafe there. I have Queen of Tarts on my list, but have’t got a chance to visit. Will check out both places. Thanks for the tip 🙂

This looks delicious. I do like easy recipes like this one. I just made some fig and walnut bread as an alternative to banana bread. Both of these are lovely as a breakfast dish. I will give this one a try.
