I just attempted 2 of your recipes, this biscotti and banana bread. Super excited to see how they turn out. 🙂
Just a FYI, you mention the salt in the ingredient list but not in the instructions. I missed adding in the banana bread but realized it when making this that we never added salt in the banana bread but realized it here, so added it here in dry mix.
thank you for your recipes.
