Mini BANANA and CHOCOLATE chip muffins - dressed up

Mini BANANA and CHOCOLATE chip muffins - dressed up by Foodessa

This is a long time favourite of mine. A big mini-muffin recipe adapted from the "Muffin Mania" recipe book I've had for over 30 years. I shared this in my latest post on a New Years 2013...celebrating muffins. Then, they got all dressed up with a filling of my Chocolate frozen Mousse ...as well as a sinful Fancy Butterscotch sauce…

Easy Homemade Mayonnaise by myra byanka

I use commercial mayo in many things, such as casseroles and salad dressings, but if I'm preparing something where the mayonnaise needs to shine, I make this recipe. It lasts about a week in the fridge. Unlike…

Leftover Roast Beef Tacos with Homemade Flour Tortillas

Leftover Roast Beef Tacos with Homemade Flour Tortillas by myra byanka

Fairly easy prep recipe utilizing leftover beef. The longer you cook the beef, the tougher it will become, so I used rare roast beef and cooked it quickly over a high heat. Prepare the tortillas and condiments first.

Buttermilk Batter Fried Onion Rings by myra byanka

I love thin onion rings on a burger, but just eating them with ketchup is fine, too.

Baking Powder Biscuits

Baking Powder Biscuits by myra byanka

This classic recipe makes about 8 biscuits (2 1/2 inch diameter). I like to brush melted butter on the tops after the biscuits come out of the oven. If you have leftovers, do not refrigerate. Just wrap them in plastic, and heat the next day in the oven, which is the best way to re-heat all bread products.
