Three years in the making;
Bread To Die For

In a large bowl

2 cups water
2 very ripe banana's
4 eggs
1 quarter butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cinnomon

nuke the mess for about two and 1/2 min to melt the butter and warm everything up .. if not warm enough to start the yeast .. nuke a little more

sort'a whisk it all together ... don't worry about getting all the egg broken and etc.

Preheat oven 350

Add:
1/2 cup whole almonds
1/2 cup whole pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup bread yeast (for bread machines)

Mix it all up and start with;

4 cups flour

gradujally add another 4 cups flour

turn out,
knead and separate into six equal sections
knead each section into a small bread shape and place in butter and floured cheap, 3" X 6" aluminum bread tin

melt some butter and brush the tops
sprinkle sugar/cinnomon mix over the top

Shut off preheated stove
place loaves in to rise about 2 hrs (for me and my elevation)

Bake 350 1 1/2 hrs (for my elev., etc.

I'll probably die from this stuff, but three years ago I endeavored to make raisin bread and I couldn't stop until now.

OJ and Lemonade Juice - makes me think of sunshine, look forward to one big glass a day.

Lots of Vitamin C, could use it for punch using club soda. I like it better than OJ and sour lemonade by themselves.

1 can Minutemaid Orange Juice Original Premium (double the tiny can but not the super size can, I looked it's 12 oz size)
1 can Minutemaid Lemonade Original Premium

1 gallon container or I use a cleaned out gallon milk jug

Thaw, using a funnel, pour the OJ concentrate into jug
Put a scant 1/2 cup superfine sugar (can use regular or sweetener) into the can)
Fill with very warm water and STIR, pour thru funnel.
Add 3 more cans of cold water
Repeat with Lemonade only add 3 cans cold water
Put on cap and shake (carefully) each time before serving, store in fridge.

Adjust water to taste if you like

Kids love it.

It's a pretty color. It's a little more diluted than instructions say. I wasn't drinking orange juice because it's acidic in the morning. To counter that, the doctor told me to drink more WATER. So I drink two cups when i take my meds. Then the acidic juice doesn't usually upset my stomach.

Ever try linguine in white clam sauce? Easy and fast meal.

can of Progresso (or similar) white clam sauce
linguine or some pasta of choice
garlic, olive oil, basil (optional), parmesan, pepper

Saute a clove or 2 of garlic in some olive oil and remove when brown. Add the oil to the clam sauce.
heat up the clam sauce in a small pot for 5 minutes low heat.
boil up the pasta until nearly soft then drain but save a little of the pasta water to add in to the pasta dish if needed for more moisture. Mix in all the above in a larger pot and cook for a few minutes mixing the ingredients frequently. Can even add in a can of albacore white tuna for a more chunky hearty dish. Mix again, add in black pepper, cheese and chopped basil (fresh or dried) to taste.

Here’s a sandwich filling recipe that is a favorite at our house:

Egg and olive sandwiches:

4-6 hardboiled eggs (depending on how much you want to make.)

A dash of mayo

Enough prepared mustard to suit your taste

1/2 to 1 C pimento stuffed olives. (well drained)

Directions:

Dice the eggs up pretty small

Chop the olives into small pieces

Dash of salt, black pepper to taste.

Use enough mayo and mustard to get a good consistency that will stay on the bread. Store leftovers in a snap-lock container and refrigerate.

This is especially good on Black Bavarian Rye Bread—but is good on any kind of toasted bread.

My favorite comfort food and easy to make: Frank's Baked Ziti

Ingredients:

1 LB Ziti, 2 eight OZ. sticks extra sharp Cheddar cheese, 1 32OZ can peeled Italian tomatoes.

Directions:

In a pot of boiling water partially cook the Ziti (about 6 min.). Drain.

Slice the Xsharp cheese. Crumble about a stick and a quarter and place in pot with partially cooked Ziti.

Break apart the tomatoes and add to pot with cheese and Ziti.

Stir together and pour into a baking dish.

Layer the remaining cheese slices on top of the Ziti so it is completely covered.

Bake in oven (375 degrees) for 30 minutes with dish covered. Remove cover and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

I've been saving lots of recipes I find on the internet.

I can't find my giant pearl tapioca. Have a recipe for apple dumplings using crescent rolls, ready to try that.

I make a lot of old fashioned rice pudding using 1/2 medium grain and 1/2 Arborio rice..

Tonight I have some oysters and a few shrimp to deep fry (kitchen too messy to do it last night).

Then a layer yellow cake from scratch (with the frosting it will be a lot of work)

I've been eating a lot less meat but love my chili, want to try a new chicken fried steak recipe, love my regular swiss steak or tenderized, browned, baked plain (makes yummy gravy).

I had been making a lot of that Jello flan using 2 boxes and big bowls. My daughter is crazy about it.

I guess I stay away from exotic things that take a lot of ingredients but I made this yummy Chinese once. It took hours. I never made it again but when I tasted it (receipe in consumer's cookbook) I could not believe I made it.

I found some Pierogi recipes that don't sound like quite as much work as when I saw a Polish lady do it. You can also use wonton skins.

When I have time, I will post my Challah bread recipe. I memorized the 6-braid from a video.

High Temperature Eye-of-Round Roast
Ingredients: beef eye of road roast (5 lb is about the limit); salt, pepper or steak seasoning.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Season the roast and place in a roasting pan. Do not cover or add water.

Place the roast in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F. Roast for 7 minutes per pound and then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot over for 50 minutes per pound. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR AT ALL DURING THIS TIME!

Remove roast from oven. The internal temperature should have reached at least 145 degrees. Carve into thin slices to serve.

Perfect rare roast beef every time. I was raised a vegetarian, so cooking meat is a challenge. Found this on-line and now I am the go-to person for rare roast beef. I tie the oven door shut and tape up a sign, to keep the curious from opening the door.
