Sourdough Discard Banana Bread
Around here, spotty bananas are basically a sign that something delicious is about to happen. Toss in that jar of sourdough discard you’ve been faithfully feeding (and maybe guilt-tripping yourself over), and suddenly you’re a no-waste queen making the coziest loaf in town. This banana walnut bread is moist, easy, topped with a dreamy golden glaze, and proof that sometimes the best recipes come from using up what you’ve already got.

Hello, I’m Christine!
recipe developer| photographer | Mother
I’m Christine—otherwise known as The Mommy. I’m a professional photographer, homemaker, homeschool mom, memory keeper, and enthusiastic collector of flour on my countertops. I love baking bread, creating cozy recipes, preserving family traditions, and making a house feel like home. If it’s warm from the oven, covered in butter, handmade with love, or has a good story behind it, I’m probably all in.
As the mom of two wonderfully selective eaters, I’ve spent years developing recipes that meet my family exactly where they are. Our kitchen has taught me that feeding the people you love isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating food that makes them feel safe, seen, and cared for. My hope is to inspire you to do the same: to fill your table with recipes that nourish both body and spirit, celebrate your family’s unique tastes, and remind the people around you just how deeply they’re loved. And if dinner occasionally comes with a side of smoke alarm? Well…you’re in good company.
