🍌💚 TONIGHT’S MAMA KURTH’S KITCHEN EXPERIMENT… NO SUGAR ADDED BANANA BREAD! 💚🍌

Wellllll… tonight I decided to experiment. 😂

I have been wanting to see if I could come up with a no sugar added banana bread for people who are looking for something a little different from my regular recipe.

So I made a test batch.

And yes… it is GREEN. 😂😂

That was not exactly the original plan, but after tasting the batter I felt like it needed a little help in the flavor department, so I started experimenting with some flavoring and, well…

Apparently we made Dr. Seuss banana bread. 🤣💚

The good news is that it actually baked up really well!

It rose nicely, held together, sliced well and had a pretty decent texture.

The flavor though?

That is still very much in the testing phase. 😂

So far I have had:

👍 ONE YAY — one of my testers said it wasn’t bad and he would still eat it.

👎 ONE NAY — another tester said NOPE, it needs some kind of sweetener, even if it is something like Splenda. 😂

And I agree that it still needs some tweaking before I would ever consider putting it on the menu.

I used unsweetened applesauce, vanilla and the bananas themselves for sweetness, but I think the next round may need a little more experimenting.

That is exactly why I test things before I sell them. ❤️

Now for the OTHER banana problem…

I officially used up the last of my good ripe bananas getting this week’s orders ready to go out the door.

And unfortunately, the giant batch of bananas I was trying to ripen and store in bulk earlier this week was sacrificed to the baking gods. 😂🍌

Let’s just say I learned A LOT about what NOT to do when trying to ripen a giant amount of bananas at once.

So unless I can find some more ripe bananas locally, it will probably be next week before I can make another big batch of banana bread.

SOOOO…

🍌 Does anybody have ripe or overripe bananas sitting around that you aren’t going to use?

The browner the better, as long as they are still good!

I would happily put them to work. 😂❤️

And if you have experience baking with alternative sweeteners or making no-sugar-added baked goods, I would love to hear what has worked for you too.

Round one of the experiment:

✅ Texture — pretty good
✅ Rise — pretty good
😂 Color — VERY memorable
🤔 Sweetness — needs work

We’ll keep experimenting.

Because apparently Mama Kurth’s Kitchen is part bakery, part fundraiser, and part science lab now. 😂🍌💚

🌻❤️ FARMERS MARKET UPDATE + A BIG GIVEAWAY ANNOUNCEMENT! ❤️🌻

Last night’s Farmers Market made me smile BIG.

Last week we had 5 total entries in our drawings.

This week, between the HHH Party Platter and our T-shirt giveaway, we had 23 entries!! 😭❤️

TWENTY THREE!

I also managed to go through all of the business cards I thought I had with me, which means I officially get to work on some new and improved business cards before next week. 😂 And hopefully some updated flyers too, because somehow this dream has grown even MORE in just the last couple of weeks.

So after thinking about how I want to handle the rest of Farmers Market season, I think I’ve got it figured out.

Each week, I’m going to keep the giveaways simple and offer some combination of the things you’ve already been seeing:

🍌 Mama Kurth’s Kitchen HHH Party Platter
👕 Custom T-shirt
❤️ Custom decal
🎁 Gift card

You can come by the booth and enter during Farmers Market each week.

BUT HERE’S THE FUN PART…

I am saving every single entry slip from every week in this basket. ❤️

At the end of Farmers Market season, ALL of those entries are going into one big Grand Prize Drawing that represents the different pieces of HHH Enterprises.

Right now, the Grand Prize is shaping up to include:

🍪 Mama Kurth’s Kitchen — a baked-good package, hopefully including some of our new fall goodies by then!

👕 Mama Kurth’s Kraftroom — a custom-designed XL shirt

❤️ Custom decal

📸 CKC Photography — a family photo session

🔥 Crazy Kurth Campground & Events — an experience prize!

The winner will be invited to join us as a special guest at Rhonda’s 75th Birthday Celebration on September 26th and get to experience one of our big family-style milestone celebrations. ❤️

There will be food, gathering, pictures, memories and plenty of the kind of chaos and fun that makes our events ours. 😂 Details will be announced as we get closer.

And because the drawing will happen close to the party date, I know the winner may already have plans or may prefer something a little more private.

SO…

If they can’t make the birthday celebration — or would rather have their own event — they can choose a Family Campfire Night for up to 8 people instead. 🔥🌭

We’ll provide the fire, hot dogs, s’mores, popcorn and a place to hang out and make some memories together.

This whole giveaway really represents what I’m trying to build.

A little baking.
A little creating.
A little photography.
A little gathering.
And a whole lot of family, community and memories.

One family. Many purposes. All under one mission. ❤️

And I LOVE that this basket is going to keep filling up every week.

Last week: 5 entries.
This week: 23 entries.

I cannot wait to see what it looks like by the end of Farmers Market season. 🥹

Come see us, grab a sample, enter the drawings, ask questions, take some information home and watch this crazy dream grow with us. 🌻❤️

🍌🌻 TREVOR’S BANANA BREAD FUNDRAISER UPDATE! 🌻🍌

I have been so busy lately between Crow Fair, Farmers Market, the first days back to school, HHH Enterprises planning, baking, running kids everywhere and about 500 other things 😂 that I realized I hadn’t given everybody a proper fundraiser update!

After our Crow Fair sales + Farmers Market sales, we have officially reached 47 LOAVES!! 🥹❤️

That means we passed another one of the winning numbers on our board — #44!! 🎉🎉

When I originally made our fundraiser board, #44 was one of the special spots, so the person who landed on loaf #44 gets a:

🍞 BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE BANANA BREAD! 🍞

They can purchase one full-size loaf and receive another full-size loaf FREE. ❤️

I had thought about changing up the prizes because I’ve been wanting to incorporate all of the different businesses under HHH Enterprises into some of the giveaways, but I decided I really like keeping these little milestone prizes the way I originally planned them.

The BIGGER giveaways are where I’m going to have some fun. 😂 I’ve already started planning prize baskets around the $40 value range where I can mix in things from Mama Kurth’s Kitchen, Mama Kurth’s Kraftroom and other little surprises.

And can we just acknowledge something?!

47 LOAVES means we are only THREE AWAY FROM 50!! 😭🍌🎉

Every loaf purchased, every sample tried, every post shared, every person who stops by my table, and every person who tells somebody else about Trevor’s fundraiser keeps this thing moving forward.

Banana bread isn’t disappearing anytime soon either — this fundraiser is still going! And while we keep working toward Trevor’s goal, Mama Kurth’s Kitchen is also starting to think ahead to fall goodies. 🎃🍪

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for continuing to support us and follow along with all of our crazy adventures. ❤️

47 down… here comes 50!!

Set up in Crow taking orders and selling mini muffin variety packs and mini loafs. Come get your banana bread for breakfast!

08/13/2026

Be sure to check us out at farmers market tonight :) I will have some order in stock and you may place an order to be picked up or delivered within the next week

Gearing up for Farmers market. More prep work tomorrow:)

Check out the new spots!! When we reach 33 loaves sold there will be a give away family session. 🙏🙏

To think… just 3 years ago this whole area was basically nothing but the frame and no dirt. 🥹
The next year I added dirt, planted some flowers, and a few of them actually came up. Then this year I kept adding a little here, changing a little there, moving things around, and figuring out what I wanted it to become.
And now here we are at the end of this season… and I am VERY pleased with my little oasis of photo backdrops. ❤️📸🌻
It definitely didn’t happen overnight, but that honestly makes me love it even more.
I already have the flower bed cleaned out and seeds spread for next season. 🙏 I added some of my mom and dad’s hollyhocks from their home in Fort Laramie, and some from Mom’s in Hardin too. I am SO excited to see how many come up next year because I loaded that flower bed full of seeds. 😂 My goal is to have enough come up that I’m thinning flowers out instead of trying to fill empty spots!
I also spread zinnias throughout the rocky area and behind the swing all along the fence, so I guess now we wait and see what decides to come up next year. 🙏🙏
Between the flowers, vines, hay bales, swing, rocking horse, garden area and all the little props I can move around, there are already so many different ways I can use this little area for pictures. And hopefully next year it will be even fuller and prettier. ❤️
It’s kind of crazy looking back at where it started and seeing what it has slowly turned into.
ANDDDDD because I’m feeling extra excited about it… 📸❤️
⭐ The NEXT LUCKY SQUARE will win a FREE FAMILY PHOTO SESSION! ⭐
So keep watching those squares!! You never know when yours might be the lucky one. 😉🙏
I cannot wait to keep watching this little place grow. 🌻❤️📸

Good evening everyone. It's been baking all day here in this house all by myself while the kids are on vacay with their auntie and Uncle and cousins. I sure kicked some butt and knocked out all local orders that were taken. Sorry for the delay. That is why I told everybody to 4 weeks :)

What do you see that is not in a bag on the table is for sale. All you Crow campers better get your orders in!!. If you are part of violets group you have to let me know what you think of your FIRST EVER HOPE HEALING HAVEN signature party platter just created tonight!! If you enjoyed it please leave me a comment and review and spread the word. 🥰

I will also be down at our FIRST farmers market as a new and improved add on to Mama Kurth's Kraftroom that's already known around town... We look forward to getting back out there. Make sure to find us. We will be hard to miss with all the lovely things I have found and collected from my grandma's treasures 🥰

On another note!! It's time for an update on Trevors fundraiser!! We are at 24 squares!! I hit that when we were on our trip! Congratulations Jennifer for landing on my special angel number square 22! This prize was meant for you!! We will be in touch!

Also but not to mention, my opsies today. Have a good laugh. I broke some clips on my fridge, and got batter everywhere several times. Yesterday my baking adventures started off with losing tons of ingredients to the baking gods cause I screwed up 🤦🤦 this is definitely been an interesting start to reaching my goals 🤣🤣🙏🙏 please pray for me the next few days goes smoother then the last as I work out the kinks and get a system. I need a bigger kitchen 😂😂. I can not even blame the kids for the mess either. I have a feeling it's going to be unorganized a bit over the next few weeks as I am working school, baking, crafting, cleaning, laundry, all the works into my schedule. It's been challenging but oh so rewarding these last few weeks finding my purpose in life and going for it.

Thank you all for your love and support. Hope to see you all tomorrow to learn more. About HHH Enterprises
