I purchased a bunch of ripe bananas on sale to make banana bread. Normally I use frozen bananas which I squeeze out of the skin. The recipe called for 3 1/2 bananas per loaf. I made 2 loaves which was a mistake (too much work) . I swear I used this recipe before but I didn't remember having to whisk the eggs and sugar for 10 minutes. I ended up with too much batter. Was it the non frozen bananas? Was it using my KA to whisk the egg/sugar mix? Did I convert the cups to grams incorrectly? One loaf sunk a bit in the middle? Did I pour the batter in unevenly? Will have to taste the results and let you know how it came out!

Great picture! Always great to get away and share the love!

I had both of those cookbooks. The operative word is"had". I just looked through my remaining cookbooks and realized I still have way too many and several of them have loose recipes stuck in them too. I know I really liked Sara's recipes but I can't recall which ones. When I start looking at some of the recipes I wonder why I am still collecting recipes on line?

Had the most beautiful and delicious 2 course meal at Trius Winery Restaurant in Niagra on the Lake Canada.. It started off with the beet appetizer which was a work of art...and delicious. My main selection was deep fried eggplant filled with Mozzarella cheese and various dressed greens... also delicious. It occurred to me that I never deep fry anymore. My "Fry Daddy" is long gone. I guess it was a pain to store the oil and get the smell out of the kitchen. And deep fried food is not healthy either or so they say. But it is great to enjoy it every once in a while!

I baked a blueberry bread. It is my sister in-law's recipe. It's more like a cake and it was well received by my neighbor's family.

I purchased some Rana butternut raviolis filled with caramelized onion. I cooked the raviolis per the directions and served them topped with Gazebo dressing and cubed leftover chicken. The raviolis have more squash than onion in them and you didn't need many to feel full. Now I have to figure out what to do with the rest of them since they were a Costco 2 pack. Note to self: don't buy something just because it's on sale!

Maybe we'll see these on Amazon one day......or shark tank!

Thanks BA! I'll let you know when I make them again!

We had boneless pork chops which were 3/4' thick. I only bought them because they were "buy one ,get two free". I didn't bake them very long and they were still dry and tasteless. Any ideas of what to do with my other 2 packages would be appreciated.

I made a stir fry with beef tenderloin strips from a piece I cut into steaks. I added some leftover marinated chicken , shallots , roasted corn and frozen green beans. I added some sauce I had in the refrigerator and it was pretty good. However frozen green beans are now on my "do not buy again" list.

A neighbor gave me some of his sourdough starter at my request. I don't know what I was thinking. As I perused various recipes I was thinking this whole process is a lot more involved then I remembered. I ended up making focaccia and by some miracle (seriously) it didn't turn out too badly. I started with one recipe and finished with a different one so don't ask!

They do look deelicious!

I made banana bread and baked it in the mini loaf pan I purchased from KA. I wrap up the individual loaves and freeze them. They defrost quickly and are the perfect size for a quick breakfast.

Decided to go with a golden oldie that I knew my husband would like and that would get rid of an old (exp 2023) can of creamed corn.... so I made Shepherds Pie or a variation there of and my husband even had seconds!!! We are both still alive and well!

We had shrimp baked with tomatoes and feta cheese. Tonight will be sauteed steak with shallots and peppers rolled in a flour tortilla with cole slaw on the side. (I am out of onions).
