This is a quick and good banana bread recipe. The sour cream keeps it extra moist.

Tuna Cream Cheese Sandwiches

Tuna Cream Cheese Sandwiches by Debra Parsons

Don't knock it until you try it! This came from Marcia Adams (who used to have a cooking show on PBS). Marcia passed away in 2011. She, too, loved Amish cooking. She did this on one of her shows, and in my search for something different, I tried it. It's really pretty good.

Amish Beef Pot Roast

Amish Beef Pot Roast by Debra Parsons

I grew up not far from an Amish settlement in western Pennsylvania. I was friends with one of the daughters of an Amish family and her Mom was an incredible cook. She shared some of her recipes with me--and I have tried to adapt them to today's conveniences (like non-stick foil!).

Quinoa Pizza Casserole

Quinoa Pizza Casserole by Debra Parsons

I do not know who came up with this--I got it from and instructor at my health club who got it from a friend. Anyway, it's really good. My husband (who is about as far from being a vegetarian as you can get) thought it was excellent. We did it as a light entree with a slad on a Saturday night (even though it is really a side dish).…

Poppy Seed Tea Bread

Poppy Seed Tea Bread by Debra Parsons

A friend of the family used to make these breads for Christmas back in the 60's--and wouldn't share the recipe. I waited all year for this bread! Her daughter caught a ride back to college with me--and as my thank-you gift, she managed to get a copy of it for me!

Cranberry Waldorf Salad

Cranberry Waldorf Salad by Debra Parsons

When growing up, my family and I used to go to a restaurant that had this on their salad bar--and for me, it was one of those "I can't stop eating it" items.
