Ep 141: Cocoa Swirled Banana Bread

It’s the second week of New Twists on Old Classics month, and speaking of old classics, Stefin recently discovered a mother lode of old Martha Stewart Everyday Food magazines, reminding her that vintage mags can be just as much fun as vintage cookbooks. Meantime, Andrea’s fascinated by the new alternative flours on the market. Have you tried apple, banana or, yes, cauliflower flour? Then the hosts do the swirl with their review of Challenge Dairy’s Cocoa Swirled Banana Bread. Was a six-step banana prep process worth the pay off? This week’s bake along is a new twist on that classic lunchbox favorite, the PB&J — a one-layer peanut butter cake topped with strawberry jam and a luscious pb frosting. Bake the Peanut Butter and Jelly Poke Cake from The Sweetest Menu with us this week! Finally, the hosts take their cue from Preheated listeners for a mini segment on the care and feeding of college kids -- from nutrition basics to the best things to send in a care package.
