Banana Bread

Image
By
The ONLY banana bread recipe I use. Everyone in the house loves it.

1¼ cups sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1½ cups mashed ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium bananas)
½ cup milk with ½ Tbsp. lemon juice (let sit a few minutes)
1 tsp. vanilla
2½ cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt

Mix ingredients in order until just moistened. Grease loaf pans or line
with foil. I use 1 regular size loaf pan and 2 small ones. Move oven
rack so that tops of pans are in the middle. Bake at 350 for an hour.
Check at 45 minutes and test for doneness with toothpick.

The original recipe says:
½ cup buttermilk (instead of my substitute of milk/lemon juice)
use 1 loaf pan, 9x5x3 or 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2x4 1/2x 2 1/2.

Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Whisk together in a dish with a lid or a paper bag, set aside. Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk 2 Tbsp peanut b...

Amy's Southwestern Chicken Lasagna

By Amy
I went to Houston, TX to visit my sister last week and ate some very yummy Southwestern Chicken Lasagna in a little cafe there. I knew my hubby would love it so I tried recreating it for his birthday dinner last Sunday. It wasn't exactly the same, but everyone loved it and Mike immediately put it on his top ten list.
