We are still eating the salads from the party and Beth took several to treat her co-workers to lunch. I won't be happy until it all disappears, however. I don't like opening the frig to surprises
I feel compelled to give out this recipe. You can't hurt it no matter what you do and you don't need a mixer. It calls for bananas and I made it that way several times. Then I had so many blueberries, so I used them instead of bananas. Perfect. Then I used a combination of apple sauce and homemade cranberry sauce (today) and look what I got. I tell you there is nothing as easy as this excellent recipe. Here is the basic recipe and you can take it from there:
3-4 ripe bananas, smashed
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup of sugar (I use only 3/4 cup)
1 beaten egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
NO NEED FOR A MIXER. Preheat oven to 350
With wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, the beaten egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt over the mixture . Mix. Add the flour last, mix until no flour shows. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. bake for 40-50 minutes depending on your oven.
