Mom's BEST Banana Bread

I have no problem saying this is the best banana bread that I have ever tasted! I dont ever double this recipe but do one at a time it mixes up fast and I have baked up to 20 in one session! They freeze great! A great gift!

1 stick of margarine or butter
1 egg
1 cup of sugar
beat with mixer
add 3 very ripe bananas. I throw them in whole if the mixer is heave duty or mash on a plate before adding

Add 1+1/2 cup "fluffy" flour....not packed down
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup nuts is optional

mix all together
pour into greased loaf pan or 2 small loaf pans

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 mins for 1 loaf do not over cook but make sure it is done in the middle!

Remember this Jacob? You got pretty good at making these .. Almost as good as me!! xoxo

The BEST Hot fudge sauce

Melt 1 stick margarine or butter
add s l o w l y 2+1/2 cups sugar
whisking constantly

add 1/2 tsp salt

add 3 squares of bakers unsweetened chocolate or 9 tbs of cocoa

very gradually add 1 large can of evaporated milk
and 1 tsp vanilla

This is best made in a double boiler so that it will not catch on and burn. Cook 1 hour and 10 mins stirring frequently.

this will make a quart and can be stored in the fridge in a clean mayonaise jar. take out what you need and microwave and There you go!!

Green Jello Salad

Noah's favorite!!

Mix 1 small package of lime jello with 1+1/4 cup of boiling water. mix and cool

add 1 unpeeled and diced Granny Smith apple
plus 1 small can of crushed pineapple

pour into a jello mold or glass bowl


Mis 1 small package of lemon jello with 1+1/4 cups of boiling water. Add 3/4 bar of softened cream cheese. ( You can microwave it to soften it a little) Beat until not lumpy.

Whip 1 cup of whipping cream and fold it into the above cooled mixture. Pour over the green mixture making sure that the green jello is jelled enough to hold the next layer without mixing together.

Put in fridge until firm. It is good to make this the day before you eat or at least the morning before the meal. I tend to double it.

Good pick Noah ! xoxo

Thanksgiving Dinner Traditions

The Thanksgiving dinner will include:

Turkey: we have had boned, stuffed, fried and traditional
stuffing
gravy
mashed potatoes

fresh green beans
fresh winter squash
yuletide cheezy onions

"green jello" for Noah
olives, pickles, cranberry sauce
cranberry juice and sherbet

after we enjoy gorp, feta triangles, veg tray, fruit, nuts and mints, eggnog, various pies and we eat and eat and eat

we put 3 corn kernals at each place for 3 thanks each

Caramel popcorn

Yeah! Caramel Popcorn

Just in time for the holidays!! Great for teachers presents!

Pop kernals to make 6 quarts of popcorn. I use a dry electric corn popper.
Put popped corn in LARGE bowl or something that you will be able to stir it in without it going everywhere....maybe your wheelbarrow :)

Boil for 5 minutes: 2 cups brown sugar
2 sticks of margarine
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup corn syrup (lite or dark)
Take off the burner and add 1tsp. butter flavor(opt)
and 1 tsp. baking soda

The mixture will begin to expand when mixed throughly with a spoon or whisk. Pour over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
Put the bowl if metal or the mixture on cookie sheets in a 200degree oven and stir every 15 mins for 30-60 mins. sometimes I skip this stage it simply causes it to not be sicky.
Pack in a airtight container. I would buy little buckets and pack it for gifts... We make this numerous times a year. Yum!!!
