        Made a big pot of Brunswick stew which I shared with 2 other families and shared the pound cake I baked also.I love to cook and bake and with just the two of us I have to share.My husband's taste for sweets has changed....yep...but not mine,he'll usually eat one or two slices of cake ,pie or whatever I've cooked then that's it for him.But I keep them pots and pans rattling :).

            Once frozen when thawed they are tan not brown and you can literally squeeze them out the end of the skin.I throw them in the side tray of the door of freezer.

              When I make Banana Bread I let my bananas get very ripe almost black and they make very good and moist bread.My recipe doesn't use mixer so I mash up if needed.If I ever have bananas going to waste I throw them in freezer in the skin-not peeled.When I want to make bread with them I let them thaw out tear the end open and all the goods just slide out.

                Have had good results with the pan grease but...on my Banana Nut Bread it tends to stick???So as I did years ago before I knew about parchment I sometimes use wax paper in the bottoms just to be sure.I always liked The Bakers Joy but sometimes ran out.

                  Made Lemon Crinkle Cookies from Mennonite page as we like anything lemon and they were very good.Had lemon jello in them for flavor and color and when baked they puffed up high but you were to slam them down on the counter to make them fall.They were very bendy after cooling and I loved them.I got 24 big cookies but next time I'll probably go a little smaller.Besides corn bread that's all I baked.

                          BakerAunt the best thing I ever did was to start using aluminum foil oven liners.They are wonderful,goes across the whole bottom of oven,it goes under the heating element of my electric stove.I'd never be without these again.Saves me lots of cleanup.

                            Italiancook this is a recipe I got out of old church cookbook published from a local church in 1959.The best ever.It's easy and good.
                            Pineapple Upside Down Cake by Mrs.J.L.Brannen
                            Melt 1/2 cup butter in large frying pan.Add 1-cup brown sugar.Spread evenly over bottom of pan.Lay complete wheels of pineapple over first mixture and in center put a cherry.Make following sponge batter.

                            Beat yolks of 3-eggs and one cup of sugar.Add 5-Tablespoons pineapple juice.Sift 1-cup plain flour and 1-teaspoon baking powder. Fold in fluffy beaten egg whites and pour over fruit.Bake 45 minutes in moderate oven at 350*

                            This has been the best I've ever had and I've never dried the pineapple before laying it in.
                            I actually put my iron fry pan in oven with butter to melt as I'm getting everything ready.

                                  Cooked a big pot of Mustard Greens with pork neck bones,When neck bone meat is tender I pick the meat off and put back in greens,had potato salad and corn bread to go with it so we'll have several meals off that.Cooked a pork roast with potato and carrots-n-onions and had a couple meals off the meat with BBQ later on in the week.Nothing else much.
