Been busy with fall chores amidst lots of appointments, but working on and enjoying the simplicity of Hannah.
Made a banana bread from a recipe I have used before, didn't think it was as special as my MIL had claimed. But this time, I did not add vanilla (I thought she left it off the copy) and used the pecans as specified instead of walnuts as usual. Wowza. Obviously, no vanilla and pecans make a difference. Very good. Scalloped potatoes and ham today (Taste of Home Never Fail Scalloped Potatoes recipe). I add diced ham and usually make more of the sauce.
The hinges were put back on the larger box and I reversed the leather to the suede side (not as slippery to hold better). Been gathering more smalls together for a little box party.
Have a good day!

Wow, you have done a lot of stitching on Hannah. I am always amazed at the difference one or two ingredients can make in a recipe. I like many Taste of Home recipes. Have a good day!
LOVE your little box party!
Hannah will be done tout de suite.
I, too, am loving your little box parties! And, now I’m on the lookout for the perfect box!! Hannah is so cute and your banana bread sounds delish! Have a good week, Marly! Cherie n WI
Hannah is coming along nicely. I'm thinking I may need to make some pumpkin bread with cranberries and pecans!
Not being a banana fan, I wonder if I'd like the bread more with your changes?
You're flying along on Hannah (hope we didn't jinx it!). Thanks for the tip about using the suede side up for the box lining.
Love your box party, Marly! Thank you for the great idea. Hannah is looking fabulous.
Marly, I looked at the Taste of Home recipe and it did not include ham. I gather you just add that to your casserole. It sounds good and I’m going to make it this week. Thanks for the idea!!!
Ham and scalloped taters is one of my favorite go-to meals. I am puzzling over your comments on the banana bread recipe and trying to wrap my head around how those two little changes could change the recipe so dramatically. I am a huge, huge, fan of vanilla and would struggle to NOT add it LOL. Hannah is so very charming...gonna have to make room for her. Absolutely drooling over your box party. You are a master at box finishing. ~Robin~
