A few weeks ago, upon checking out at Stop and Shop I received a coupon for $20 off and free delivery for 60 days to try their Peapod delivery service. $20 off my grocery bill? Of course I'll try!
So, my fiancé and I sat down to order our groceries online for the first time. It went something like this:
Apples - 7
Avocados - 3
Bananas (yellow) - 7
Bananas (green) - 7 (we were thinking that these would be ripe by the time we finished the yellow ones)
Baby Carrots - 1 bag
Grapefruits - 4
You get the idea...
So I got the email that the delivery had arrived and texted my fiancé to see if it was there. The response I received was the below picture accompanied with "oh yea it's here and I'm drowning in bananas"
Instead of ordering 7 bananas we ordered 7 bunches of bananas! It was so easy to do especially because for everything else we were ordering we had to enter the exact amount that we wanted. Thankfully, they forgot to bring the green ones! I called and got a refund for those, but I still had way too many bananas for two people to eat.
So I went on a search for some banana recipes to make and bring into work. Pinterest was flooding with them and I haven't really ever baked from scratch so I was looking for some easy options and found quite a few winners! My co-workers loved them all! So much so that last week at the end of the week there were some bananas that were going to become too ripe over the weekend so someone brought them to my attention letting me know "just in case" I wanted make some more treats with them! I got the hint. Monday everyone enjoyed some more banana treats.
As a result of this mistake...I am totally hooked on baking with bananas and wanted to share my new favs with everyone!
Drowning in bananas haha!
ReplyDeletethis is too funny. I love bananas. I actually have a collection of over ripe bananas in my freezer for baking. I have this great recipe for soft banana chocolate chip cookies. They come out like a cake cookie.
ReplyDeletethose sound delicious!
DeleteLOL this is too funny! there's so many things you can do with banana's... it's a shame that the banana fungus is hitting all of them
ReplyDeletewhat is also so funny is that it looks like they gave you large bunches of banana, not the 4 to 5 banana versions I buy, looks like you are putting them to good use!
ReplyDeleteyes! They definitely gave me more than 7 bunches and most had more than 5 to a bunch!
Deletelol! You weren't kidding! You would think Peapod might have thought this many bananas in an order was odd... But loving all the recipes so far!
ReplyDeleteI thought they would have definitely noticed and maybe called me to check if I really wanted that many!
Deletehaha this is a great story! Definitely will remember this happening for years to come!
