The past couple of weeks, I've somewhat been fasting because of a sports injury. In viewing some Gather posts, I've seen some scrumptious meals. Due to my less than normal activity level, but still wanting something good to eat, I checked my 'pantry'. Oct 9th, Donald H posted a recipe--Conroy's corn casserole. Corn, butter, pasta, onion, cheddar cheese--yep, have all that. Turned out delicious. Then made a simple banana bread for the umteenth time, another delicious 'pantry' staple.The recipe for banana bread is common enough, but here's "mine."
Ingrediants:
3 large ripe bananas
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup of oil
1&1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of chopped almonds
For a larger loaf use 2 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of oil and 2 eggs
I bake mine at 325 degrees in a 9x5-inch pan for 55 minutes
For a special crumble topping I need to credit chef Ina Garten
Her's is for a 9-inch round cake
