black and whites

where I live, we don’t have “good italian bakeries!”, something my grandmother complains about all the time. so instead, she makes black and whites and various other things that come from new york (where my family is from.)sooc. I’ve noticed that I take a lot of food pictures…Which side of a black and white cookie do you eat first?
Homemade Banana Bread

Sometimes when we have leftover browning bananas at my shop, someone will take them home and make banana bread. This time that person was me… er, rather I brought them home and my mother made banana bread! I did all the necessary taste testing though ; )Submitted to the Friday Food Fiesta group on 9/5/08 (“Bread”).

Whole Wheat-Date Bars

These require some pre-planning as there are a couple steps where the dough needs to sit in the refrigerator for an extended amount of time. A combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour form a cookie base over a smooth date filling. The dates are first softened in apple cider so they can be easily pureed in a food processor. The crust has a hint of lemon, is nutty and firm enough to keep the filling from squishing out when you eat them. These bars have a wholesome taste but the sweetness from the dates balances the wheaty flavor.Pictures and Recipe here
