I hope our new neighbors enjoy the bread as much as we do. One of my favorite things to do is give a "happy" when someone least expects it and to put a smile on their face.
Oh, and it's Friday!! Be excited!!

Welcome to the Neighborhood
We recently had some new neighbors move in across the street. I wanted to welcome them to the neighborhood so I decided to bake them one of my favorites - fresh banana bread. I actually recently posted about this fabulous recipe from The Cake Doctor cookbook- check that post out here. Last night, I whipped up a few loaves of this yummy treat (I had to make some for me and Collin too!) and spent some time this morning wrapping it for delivery. And if I haven't told you before, I love to wrap! It's so much fun and is such a great way to express your own personality.

How do you like to welcome new neighbors? Is there a certain recipe or sweet that you like to make for special occassions?

This is great...I have really been thinking about meeting my new neighbors but just haven't...I'm honestly a little scared to! hahaha. I need to just do it, and the relationships are always great that come out of it (well, usually anyway). This is a great idea too! I love the wrapping on it.
ReplyDeleteI think you may have just pushed me out of the boat and got me thinking about "brotherly love" :) Maybe i'll go say hi to them next week..thanks for the encouragement!
Love the wrap! I have always been a bit shy to welcome a new neighbor when they first arrive, but this year I did make homemade cocoa and marshmallows for neighbor Christmas treats.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet of you - and homemade gifts are the best, of course! I have to try baking banana bread... it just sounds so yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteBanana bread...YUMMY! You are such a sweet neighbor!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

The funny thing is, I don't have any new neighbors. We moved into our cul de sac 6 years ago and it's the same bunch here since then. I do have an elderly neighbor who loves my Christmas fudge so I try to make her a few batches throughout the year, you've reminded me it's been a while, should make her some today.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great neighbor!! I bet they love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect and thoughtful. I would make the same, or possibly chocolate chip cookies, but never would have thought to wrap them like you did. Love that!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

have a great weekend!
What a lovely idea. It's a great thing to keep the welcome-neighbor tradition going. I haven't done it yet, but maybe will try it sometime :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! Have a great weekend girl!
ReplyDeleteOK I'm moving!

You are a southern girl for sure! I love how you wrap...please teach me how to do that ribbon! I bake choc chip cookies...just the Nestle recipe. I can't bake bread...not yet anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky people! Sounds like a great neighborhood.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea. such a comfort food, isn't it? My mom used to bake this all the time and I have such good memories of banana bread. It's the perfect thing to bake and take....
