Apple Banana Bread- #bloggersCLUE

Apple Banana Bread

Hey, guys…guess what? I made apple banana bread, so you know what that means?!?

It has to be fall…it just must be fall? Ok, who am I kidding! I live in FL and it won’t look like fall here, well, ever. But, that doesn’t mean that I can’t start sharing more apple recipes!

And what a perfect reason to bring on the apple baking season than for another #bloggersCLUE event!

I was assigned Kim from Liv Life’s blog. Kim was one of the first food blogging friends I made when I first launched Cake Duchess over 5 years ago. She has the most beautiful family and is quite the photographer. Her blog is filled with all kinds of yumminess!! I know her blog pretty well and knew there were some apple things on there to choose from. I finally settled on Kim’s banana apple spice bread. What is funny, is that I know Kim’s blog for so many years that I even remembered she had an apple bread on her blog and I even remembered commenting on it. It’s sort of weird to look back at what I wrote 2 years ago and think I would say the exact same thing about her post and the bread!

With that said, Kim also likes apple recipes and had a few delicious ones to choose from.
I was thinking about her apple arugula detox drink (who doesn’t need a little detox!!). Kim’s banana apple spice cookies look fantastic! And these apple cinnamon crepes, ohhhhh yeah!

The blogger C.L.U.E (Cook, Learn, Undertake, Eat) Society meets every month in a game of mystery, intrigue, and fun! We are given a theme and secretly assigned another member’s blog; our mission is to hunt through our assigned blog to find a recipe that fits the theme through our eyes. We then head into the kitchen and recreate the recipe and post together on reveal day!

I am always interested in solving a good mystery, so it was only natural that I would be loving this food blogging group: blogger C.L.U.E!

Today is reveal day, and this month’s theme is: fall fruit? Check out all the lovely recipes my fellow Blogger C.L.U.E. participants are sharing today.
