Super fast post again, sorry! I made my favorite Heavenly Healthy Banana Bread, which you can find the recipe for here. I made this for my wonderful neighbor Leila, who was busy having a garage sale outside all day Saturday and Sunday, with some old bananas she so wisely froze.
Later, I decided something needed to be done about the state of our fridge. It was PACKED with Rainier cherries and they were practically begging to be used in a tart. So I whipped up a very simple cherry tart that I hope you'll enjoy for its simplicity. :)
Jessica's Simple Cherry Tart
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

- Slice and enjoy!
Happy Baking!
