Raige Creations

I was just sitting here minding my own business, wasting time on the computer. An all to normal things these days..... Hubby was yapping about all the sales this weekend, being Labor Day Weekend.  Going on about how chainsaws were on sale. And dirt.  Well, we need dirt for all these little guys we are growing to sell to people who like hummingbirds.  Trumpet Creepers... hummingbirds love them Trumpet Creepers got lots who wants one? But a chainsaw? Great, what does he want to chop now? Men. So my mind keeps going on sales, and I say, " Should Raige have a Labor Day Weekend Sale? " He said " SURE! 20% off!

I don't have the itchy 'gotta be outside' feeling, and the hubby and kids are always hungry it seems, so baking and cooking are a natural rainy day activity.   On a recent rainy day, I was on a bread making kick. My hubby cannot eat dairy - no butter, milk, cheese. But he loves sweet breads. I searched high and low for a banana bread recipe with no milk or butter. Not easy to find, but I did find one. But how much banana bread can one eat before one gets so tired of banana bread they don't want to see another banana? Not much actually.... So, some experimenting and desire to use up some ingredients, I came up with a recipe for Apple Bread that uses no butter or milk.
