94~ Easy Banana Bread recipe...
Funny thing happens when the weather gets a bit chilly, Betty Crocker explodes into our kitchen!
I have been cranking out banana bread the past few days,and cannot seem to make enough to have an extra loaf to freeze! The whole family Loved it!
~Of all sources, the following recipe comes from a cookbook copywrited in 1978!
The Taming of the C.A.N.D.Y. Monster, by Vicki Lansky....((C-ontinuously A-dvertised
N-utritionally D-eficient Y-ummies))
***A lot of the information/tips in this cookbook are "no-brainers", but even such, I hold onto it!
BANANA BREAD....
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg -beaten
1 cup bran cereal or uncooked oatmeal
4-5 mashed ripe bananas (1 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour (white/whole wheat, or combination)
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped nuts (i omitted these, so far no bread police have shown up!)
Get to work....
Cream shortening and sugar until light. Add egg and mix. Add cereal, bananas and vanilla. Stir. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and add to the first mixture, stirring only long enough to moisten the flour. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for an hour* or until bread tests done. Stand back, family will attack!
*an hour was not even close to the correct time for me on this, I used a loaf pan and it took an hour and a half-I had better results dividing the mixture in half using 2 loaf pans, thus cutting bake time in half...

51~Chinese Minced Chicken Wrap- recipe
This is a keeper! On one of our misadventures we ended up at a local farmers market and had the great pleasure of enjoying a sample of their featured recipe...Chinese Minced Chicken Wraps or Saang Choy Bao as it is called...the girls loved it and I HAD to get the recipe being that it is so healthy, crunchy and yummy! It looks like a time consuming recipe, which I am NOT a fan of, but really, it took about 30 minutes, start to finish- give it a try!!
***TO lessen the cost I used thawed ground turkey meat from Aldi @ 1.19 a pound...the mushrooms I used the old standard or portabella....I have tried teriyaki in place of soy sauce....used a regular 'ol onion finely chopped....used black pepper instead of white...canola or olive oil in place of the peanut oil...and we are still alive! We make this so often and when I am not running to the store for a special onion- I have used what I've got- it is impossible to not have a tasty meal with this!***

Recipe by Patrick Bowersock
Chinese Minced Chicken Wraps-serves 4
1 pound ground chicken
20 cashews-chopped rough
3 mushrooms-chopped fine (shitake suggested, any will do)
3 scallions- 2 fine chopped, green part of 1 julienned
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon Oyster sauce
1Tablespoon rice wine or dry Sherry
1 teaspoon of cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon sugar
salt/ white pepper~to taste
2 teaspoons peanut oil
3 cloves garlic-fine chopped
16 iceberg lettuce leaves
Asian Chile sauce -to taste
Put chicken-cashews-mushrooms-chopped scallions in bowl.
Combine/mix- soy sauce-oyster sauce-wine-cornstarch-sugar-salt and pepper in a bowl, Pour over chicken mixture and toss- Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat, add garlic and cook for 10 seconds, add chicken mixture. Cook, stirring until browned. That was easy! You are done!
Spoon some of the mixture onto lettuce leaf, garnish w/julienned scallion and a bit of chile.
I have not made the following, but can accompany the above recipe, it creates a sauce that is frequently used to accompany pan-fried Chinese dumplings...
PB Chang's sauce
Mix together 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger. Add 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 30 seconds. Although this sauce is fine on it's own, to replicate the PF Changs sauce, mix this sauce with 1 Tablespoon of Chinese mustard and 1 teaspoon Asian Chile sauce.

37~ Homemade Soft pretzels* EASY RECIPE!!
We made sticks and small inch size nuggets-the kids report that they liked the nuggets better because they are softer...and of course, fun to eat!
They are definitely pretzel like, if you can overloook the non brown color- however these were a big hit dipped in mustard, as well as the kid concoction of melted cream cheese and butter! They did have the correct consistency (the pretzels-heh heh) and could be treated as the store bought type.

I absolutly plan on making these again, but may need to triple the recipe to have enough to freeze! The gobblers in our house ate them all.......
Soft Pretzels
1 package of yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1tablespoon sugar
4-5 cups flour
Prezel salt (optional)
In a large bowl, combine water and yeast. Add sugar and salt, add flour until you have a stiff, plyable dough. Place on floured surface and put your kids to work- knead for 5-8 minutes. Shape as you like, just not too thick or it will burn and be raw in the middle! Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with salt-if desired.
Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. (ours took 10 minutes!)
