Good ideas to try

End of February (the 28th) and we had Sunday lunch outside.  Unreal.  This is Ohio. We had comfort food today: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas and chili.

Good Ideas day:

Spaghetti pie: Google the recipes there are tons of them.  I've made it several ways and you can't go wrong. Spaghetti wants to be a pie being served in slices. David Lebovitz's blog has a good recipe and pictures.





Note:  The family agrees this is the best banana bread that they have eaten.  One loaf gone already. Waiting for the bananas to ripen for the next batch.

From Kitchen Daily...banana bread quick and delicious

3 really, really ripe bananas (the kind that lay there with an accusing expression daring you to throw them away)
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup melted butter (I used one stick of butter.)
No mixer necessary.  Mash bananas in a bowl.  All all ingredients except flour. Blend well then add flour. Melt butter in loaf pan.  Grease pan with melted butter then pour balance of butter into batter and mix.  Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Perfect.  I drizzled a butter cream icing over the top after baking, but she just sprinkled sugar on top before baking for a crisp coating. This is the easiest banana bread I have ever tried.

To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
