There is something so comforting about a warm piece of banana bread, especially on a gloomy day like today.

What I love most about banana bread is that it’s a great way to use up the stash of over-rip bananas in my freezer, it travels really well (very shareable 😉 and it can be frozen for a lovely snack for another time or when company stops by at the last minute – you’ll look like the hostess with the mostess with minimal effort 🙂

Happy Canada Day!  For those of us blessed to call Canada home, today we celebrate our great nation’s 148th Birthday!  Being a first generation Canadian, I am so proud to have been born and raised in this country and feel incredibly blessed for freedoms and opportunities I have been afforded.  Deep gratitude.

Since all birthday’s are meant to be celebrated with cake, I thought red and white Strawberry Shortcake would be perfect.  I changed things up by creating individual cakes in mason jars, which made them easy to transport and backyard BBQ friendly.  Enjoy!
