Banana Bread

Note: This was delicious and moist. Next time, though, I will set the rack lower in the oven because the top got a little too done.

Ingredients
2 cups flour (all-purpose, whole-wheat, or a mixture of both)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or butter)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
3-4 bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 Tablespoons milk

Directions
Stir together dry ingredients. Beat together remaining ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and blend until just combined. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Pumpkin Muffins

Image
Note: I used walnuts, but I didn't have a full 3/4 cup, probably only about 1/2 a cup. This would be awesome with chocolate chips, too. Of course, what isn't better with chocolate chips?? These are amazingly light and fluffy. Ingredients 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup water 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup chopped cashews or walnuts (optional? I think not) Directions Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients - eggs, oil, water, pumpkin In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and incorporate. Add nuts (and chocolate chips?), stir. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Do not overbake. Cool on wire rack. source: http://allrec
