 This banana bread with delicious swirls of Nutella throughout the middle and on top is my new all time favorite version of this iconic quick bread.

This is the banana bread recipe I will use every time! The crumb is moist and evenly baked throughout and the chocolatey hazelnut Nutella pairs so well with the ripe bananas.

Pan de Cristal | Glass Bread

Pan de cristal is an amazing bread made with 100 percent hydration dough. It has roots in Catalonia, Spain, where it was developed about fifteen years ago.

This bread comes with a shatteringly crisp and delicate crust (like glass) and a super airy crumb. In fact, when you slice it, the crumbs from the crust scatter all over your cutting board.

This version of colcannon is loaded with kale, but still totally tastes like mashed potatoes. It's a great way to get a serving of leafy greens in your favorite comfort food.
