My favourite banana bread recipe:

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup Crisco oil
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups flour
3 ripened, mashed bananas
2 tsp vanilla

Mix in order given. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until done.


All these recipes are making me hungry!!!

I have an awesome steak marinade as well!

Lay your steaks out in a baking pan. Dash worchestershire sauce & soya sauce on both sides. (I use LOTS!) Then take garlic puree (can be bought in jars in the bbq sauce aisle) and spread on both sides. Put in the oven at 250 for 3 hours, turning every hour. Then BBQ or in winter fry in pan with NO oil. Comes out tasty and TENDER! Loving it!

Yuuuummmmmmmmm! Sounds great angelface. I'll definitley have to try this one out for sure!

I finally started to do some Christmas baking, so here's what I have so far:

Cherry Thumbprint Cookies

1 c butter - softened
1 c sugar
2 eggs - separated
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
2 c crushed corn flakes
glazed cherries

Cream butter & sugar. Add egg yolk & vanilla. Beat. Stir in flour a bit at a time, mixing well after each time. Beat egg whites until frothy. Shape dough in 1" balls. Dip in egg white & roll in corn flake crumbs. Place about 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Press down with thumb in the middle of each. Place 1/2 glazed cherry in center. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Makes about 4 - 5 doz. and are my all time favorite.
