I just took out a loaf of banana bread from the oven and it smells so delish, I thought I'd share the easy recipe..
2 bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter or marg
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cup flour
1 tsp soda & 1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
some vanilla extract
Combine the dry ingredients. Mash up banana with the sour cream.
In separate bowl, mix butter with sugar til creamy, add in eggs and mix for few more minutes. Stir in the mashed banana and finally the flour mixture. Bake at 350 for about 50 min and voila.

my girlfriends and i made this, but i don't know how many guys would appreciate it. i never understood chocolate as an aphrodisiac until half way through this meal when i seriously felt high. i recommend starting with musk melon wrapped in pruscitto and fresh italian bread dipped in olive oil and a balsamic vinegar reduction, and then serving caesar salad with figs with the main course or after.

� 3 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
� 2 x cloves cloves garlic, chopped
� 2 x dash dry chili peppers, crushed
� 8 x anchovy fillets, finely chopped

Directions:
1. Cook the penne in a pot of boiling salted water. While pasta is cooking, make the sauce.
2. In a saucepan heat up olive oil. Gently saut� garlic, add chili peppers and anchovies. Cook until the garlic is golden and anchovies have somewhat dissolved. Then add the chocolate. When the chocolate has melted, add the breadcrumbs.
3. Drain the pasta just before the al dente stage and add to the saucepan. Add parsley and mix together well for a few seconds so that the pasta and the sauce are well amalgamated. Serve immediately.
^^^^^^^^^^^---- This looks GREAT and easy to make as well. I will try this soon and report back.

My god its good... And you can always spand on it.. like adding oregano and such.. well that was my two cents... nothing big. |

If you make chilli or a thick soup and you want to present it differently, use a tortilla bowl!!
Place oven rack in bottom rack position; heat oven to 350�F. Spray 2 (10-oz) ovenproof custard cups with cooking spray; place on cookie sheet.
Place tortillas on microwavable plate; cover with microwavable plastic wrap. Microwave on High 45 to 60 seconds, turning after 30 seconds, until very soft. Center tortillas over cups, press into cups so top edges are even. Press tortilla folds against side of each cup to make bowl as large as possible.
Bake on bottom oven rack 8 to 10 minutes or until tortillas are stiff enough to hold their shape. Remove tortilla bowls from cups; place on cookie sheet. Return to middle oven rack in oven; bake 5 to 7 minutes longer or until browned and stiff. Remove tortilla bowls from cookie sheet; place on wire rack.

Ok here is my addition for the day.
I will be making this today.
Kick ass mashed potatoes
Chicken Breast stuffed with Bacon/Prosciutto & Swiss Cheese
Caesar Salad
Kick Ass Mashed Potates
about 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
1/2 pound cheddar cheese grated
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Cook potatoes until soft. Drain and then add the cream, butter, salt, and black pepper. Place the pan over medium- low heat and mash with a potato masher to incorporate the ingredients and achieve a light texture. Add the bacon, grated cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives and stir until thoroughly combined.
Bacon/Prosciutto and Swiss Stuffed Chicken Breast
2 (6-ounce) chicken breasts, cut in half and pounded into thin scallops
4 thin slices prosciutto
4 slices of bacon
8 thin slices of swiss cheese
1 cup flour
2 eggs beaten with a little milk
1 cup italian bread crumbs
Oil
Salt and pepper
Pound the breast pieces so they are very thin. Season with salt and pepper. Now place 2 slices of cheese on all four breasts. Top two of them with 2 slices of bacon and the other two with 2 slices of prosciutto. Roll up the breast into a cylinder, tucking the ends in.
Now roll the breast pieces into flour, then egg and let extra egg drip off. Then roll into bread crumbs.
In a pan preheat oil. Also pre-heat oven to 400F. When the pan is hot add the chicken and sautee about 2-3 minutes of all sides, untill golden brown. Now transfer the chicken on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake in oven for about 15 minutes. TADA!
Caesar Salad
2 garlic cloves
1 egg or 1 teaspoon of mayo
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
1 cup olive oil
couple dashes Worcestershire sauce
Salt
black pepper
1 large head of romaine lettuce, washed
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
croutons
Bacon bits
Mince garlic, add to a bowl. With garlic add 1 egg or 1 teaspoon of mayo, juice of lemon, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix everything. Now, drizzle in the oil slowly while beating the mixture, to get a creamy texture. Finally add the parmigiano cheese.
Chop or tear the lettuce to bite size pieces, and add to bowl. Pour the caesar dressing over the lettuce, add croutons and bacon bits. Toss and there you go!
Some of the above is off by hand, i dont remember the exact amounts. but its close enough. You can play around and add/subtract to taste.
ENJOY!
EDit: Make sure to serve the potatoes immediately!
This thread needs more personal recipes, not something you got off cookbooks
Grilled Eggplant: this is one of my favourite summer foods.
Wash and slice a whole eggplant into 1/2" slices.
Sprinkle generously with raw sea salt (any salt will do...iodized, kosher but I like sea salt), stack loosely on a paper towel lined plate and allow to weep for an hour or so. You can weep them for as little as a few minutes, but the longer they weep, the more oil and salt they absorb.
Blot dry with paper towel.
Brush generously with GOOD olive oil, let stand 5 mins
Place on grill over low/med heat.
Grill slowly, turning once (and only once, so watch your heat), when turned, brush lightly with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
When cooked (8-12 mins), serve as appetizer or side to meat....yum.
This is really great with grilled peppers. Make a meal of it by placing two or three eggplant slices on a plate, top with grilled red/yellow/green peppers (with a bit of basil and good oil), tomato slices and a few rings of raw red onion and parsley. Really nice colour and presentation.
If you weep them for only a few minutes, this whole process takes 30 minutes from stepping in the kitchen to sitting at the table...most of which is waiting. Completely vegetarian for you herbivores.
Enjoy!
Swedish Meatballs
Here is my dinner from tonight:
Swedish Meatballs
Meatballs
2 pounds ground lean meat: use beef, pork or veal
2 eggs
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt to taste (1 1/2 teaspoons)
Pepper to taste (1/2 teaspoon)
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Preparation
1. Thoroughly blend the ground meat, filler, salt and pepper, and other flavorings.
2. Form into balls about 3/4"-1 1/2" in diameter (makes 30-50 meatballs depending on size).
Cooking
1. Heat skillet with a little cooking oil to medium-high heat.
2. Fill the skillet about half full with the meatballs and fry them for about 10 minutes. Be sure to shake the skillet gently during cooking and flip meatballs to make sure they cook evenly.
3. When meatballs are browned (10 to 15 minutes) take them out of the pan and let them cool and drain a bit (but keep them warm - pyrex in low heat oven works great).
Red Wine Sauce
(there is also a white sauce for the Swedish meatball - tonight I make red wine sauce)
2 tablespoons fat drippings from meatballs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup red wine
1. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat drippings from meatballs out of the pan used to cook meatballs (leave bits of meat in pan).
2. Add flour to the meatball drippings in a saucepan, mix thoroughly.
3. Add the broth to the fat/flour base in the saucepan to make a paste. Stir.
4. Heat slowly add the water to taste.
5. Bring to a boil while stirring.
6. Add red wine.
To make white wine sauce - use chicken broth and white wine instead of beef broth and red wine.
Egg Noodles
(I prefer to serve my Swedish meatballs over egg noodles)
1. Boil a 1 pound bag of wide egg noodles for about 6 minutes (just before cooked).
2. Drain noodles and serve onto plates.
3. Place 5 - 7 meatballs on top of plate of noodles.
4. Spoon sauce on top of noodles and meatballs to taste.
-------------
ENJOY! THIS WAS MY DINNER TONIGHT!

After seeing RJ's cookie thread I decided this one needs to be bumped.
Once I finally finish exams I plan on going on an all day Christmas baking spree and am looking for people's favourite Christmas cookie/snack recipe.
Thanks.
