Banana Nut Bread
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
2 cups all–purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add mashed bananas, and mix until smooth.
Combine flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in nuts.
Pour batter into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
I usually make this recipe into muffins. Pour batter into greased muffin pans, and bake at 350 for around 15 minutes. Don’t over bake. Cool and turn out onto wire rack.
These freeze very well.
Bee, I just put this in the oven, the batter was delicious! Can't wait for it to come out!

No not til they peak, just really bubbly. I use a fork, not the mixer. It's all easy enough to mix without the mixer.

Jayne — I hope the banana bread turned out for you! Did you make muffins or loaves? Many times I make muffins — pop them into a freezer bag and into the freezer. This recipe really freezes well.

FREEZE it! That's the only way I “preserve” anything around here for another day!
I'm taking your cheesecake recipe 'back home' with me. I need lots of people around when I make something that rich — or I eat all of it!

Too Late! We couldn't take it any more, we had to cut it. Half a loaf is gone already! TOO Delicious! I love the cinnamon taste it has. I used 3/4 t.
Thanks so much for this recipe! I have a feeling we'll have alot of uneaten banana's around here now, just begging to be made into banana bread.
:J
I'll have to try Deb's recipe too. The sour cream sounds good! (I'll eat anything if it has sour cream in it)

Cheeseburger Soup
Makes around 12 cups
1 large onion, chopped
¾ to 1 cup shredded carrots (I grate mine because I have carrot haters in the family - and when grated, it looks like cheese and they don’t know…)
1 cup celery – small dice
jalapeño, minced (optional - we just like peppers in about everything)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
32 oz. fat-free chicken broth
4 cups or so of chopped potatoes (keep the chop on the small side, and it cooks faster)
1 cup skim milk
¼ cup flour
8 oz. Velveeta Light
¼ cup light sour cream
In skillet, brown beef, add onions, carrots and celery towards end of browning – drain, if needed. Transfer to pot. Add basil, parsley, broth and potatoes. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender. Blend milk and flour; add slowly to soup. Cover and simmer to thicken. Stir in cheese to melt. Add sour cream and heat through. Do not boil.
***I tend to cook low fat. You can make this recipe even skinnier by adding fat free sour cream. I don’t like the stuff! You can make this recipe richer by using milk with fat, broth with fat and regular Velveeta and regular sour cream.
It cooks up quickly once everything is chopped – so you could chop everything in the morning and throw it together in the evening.
This is good with homemade bread or yeast rolls. It heats up great for lunches the next day.

Bee - that looks so good and we LOVE Cheeseburgers. So, I am copying this down. I am not a carrot lover (but ate my share growing up)..so will grate fine…and I have learned to chop potatoes thin, for another soup, I make, to cook faster, so will do that…I may use yogurt in place of sour cream - they taste the same and I usually sub. anything calling for sour cream with yogurt, when I have it. It looks sooo good. Thank you!

Donna, don't chop your potatoes too thin for this — you want them chunky — just small chunks.

I am DYING to make this cheeseburger soup! And the farmer's cheesecake. And and and! I LOVE trying new recipes! I want to try everything that gets posted!! I am finally about to have some more time now that my book is gone bye-bye-BYE (and do I NOT sound sorry? LOL).
Do any of you guys mind if some of the recipes I try out, I post on the blog? I'll credit back to whoever posted them here, of course! (And if you are one who has a blog, link to your blog as part of the credit.) I just think it would be so much fun to post some of them with pictures when I try them out, if that's okay!

I had this recipe saved for a while and made it last night, It was so good and really moist.
Streusel Gingerbread
1 1/2 C flour
1 C sugar
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 C cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 C vegetable shortening
1 egg
3 tablespoons molasses
1 C buttermilk
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 300F. Coat bottom only of a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray. Combine flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter and shortening to make a crumbly mixture. Scoop out ¼ cup and set aside.
Add egg and molasses to flour mixture and stir. Combine buttermilk, baking soda and salt. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir well (there will still be a few lumps). Pour into pan; sprinkle reserved flour mixture evenly over top.
Bake 30 minutes. Increase temperature to 350 and continue baking 18 to 20 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
