Banana BreadI've been making this banana bread for years, making small changes here and there. It's a great one to make with the kids, and enjoy hot out of the oven! You can make it into muffins as well, just adjust the cook time accordingly (~20 minutes for full-size muffins). |

Easy Fruit CobblerThis is a super simple dessert that's great for a large or small gathering. I generally use nectarines or peaches and some sort of berries, but cherries plums and apricots will work too. |

Warm Brussles Sprouts Salad with Almonds and ParmesanI adapted this from a Oprah recipe. She makes the salad with raw brussel sprouts. I couldn't quite trust that, so I blanched them lightly before slicing. This produced a delcious and slightly warm salad. I should have tried some raw and some cooked to see which method is best. Maybe one of you can do that and let us know? |

Sweet basil tomato saladI adapted this recipe from a tomato salad my mom's friend, Michi, made us years ago. She marinates the tomatoes in the dressing. We use this as salad dressing. You need to use a pretty sturdy lettuce such as Romaine--it's a substantial dressing. It's got wonderful flavor either way you use it. |

And, you don’t even need to fire up the grill. Get ready to slurp up every last drop. My family did! It’s a very skinny main course soup since I’m using extra lean ground beef and draining the fat… |

Comeback Dressing for Salads, Sandwiches, and SeafoodBest with iceberg, red, butter, and green lettuces, or spring mix. Definitely calls for tomates, cucumbers, maybe red onions. Also, it's a sandwich spread for Reubens or burgers, and with the addition of horseradish, can be used for shellfish. |

For those of us that like it hot...I add 3 pureed… |

Apricot Walnut Squares (A Bar Cookie)CRUNCHY, CHEWY and MOIST. That sums up this pleasing amber-color bar cookie. The bottom crust gets extra crunch from bran cereal, while the top layer combines apricots and walnuts. This one-bowl recipe will be quick on cleanup, and that will give you more time to savor this unusual treat. |
