Benjamin Moore White OC-151

Based on the popularity of my past few paint posts, I’m back today with this one.

Today I’m focusing on a more recent favorite white paint of mine to use, Benjamin Moore White OC-151.

Just like White Dove, we use this beautiful white paint color SO much and in SO many places.

Above you can see how this looks on our kitchen cabinets.

When we first started to renovate our current kitchen, I thought for sure we were going to go with White Dove, just like we had (and loved) in our former New York home.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe

I first got the recipe for this old fashioned chocolate chip banana bread from another mom in my oldest child’s nursery school class.

She would make this for playdates.

It was SO good, I had to have the recipe.

All these years later, this great recipe is still my favorite.

I’ve seen other recipes which call for brown sugar and/or baking powder in the dry ingredients…

Those are good – but honestly, this one is GREAT!
