B is for Banners

Something I've enjoyed about a few blogs that I read is the regular changing out of their heading banners. It's a great way to keep the blog fresh. So this January when I changed out my header I decided that I wanted to make it a regular thing. I also decided that I wanted to keep a history of the banners, so I've created a tab, with this history of my banners. I will update every month and where appropriate I will include link backs to the friends who create them for me. So, if you are feeling inspired and want to create me a blog header, feel free to contribute! I would love it :)

This month's, of course, is in honor of my April A-Z project.

New Banner!

This month's banner is brought to you by my good buddy Dan. He did an amazing job designing our wedding invitations and various other wedding paper goods so when he offered to design a banner for Naturally Sweet, I said, yes, of course! The butterflies in the banner are the ones used on our invitations so that adds a little extra sweetness to the design.

Thanks, Dan!

Blueberry Bread

Woo! Playing with my format! The previous version of my blog is a template that was a gift from my friend Jacob. He made it for me about 5 years ago, so I've decided it is time for it to have its rest. I've messed about with the template a lot today and am not yet totally pleased, so bear with me as I finesse it in the next couple weeks.

This week I am going to post several of the pieces I wrote for the writing project with my friend Victor. Several people on my FB have expressed interest, so.. Ask and you shall receive!

But first, some foodie love. Our aluminum pans have seen better days, so I splurged and got a ceramic bread pan. It will never rust, which I can definitely appreciate. Plus, it's so very pretty!


So here is a picture of its inaugural use - Blueberry Bread. I adapted this recipe (a lot) by using buttermilk instead of sour cream, a fairly different mix of flours, and baking in a bread pan rather than muffin tin. And, of course, adding streusel. Mmm.. Good way to start a week, eh?
