Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread What could be better than a moist scrumptious banana bread? One with chocolate chips! No mixer required! There are no nuts in this, although you could add them if you wish. I used mini chocolate chips since mini chips disperse better in cake/bread batters. If you want to add nuts, about…
Macaroni and ‘Trees’ with Shrimp

Peanut Butter Black Eyed Susans
Peanut Butter Black Eyed Susans These cookies are a bonifide HIT with anyone who eats them. I’ve been making them for years and years now, since I first saw them in a magazine I subscribed to ages ago. No one ever believes how incredibly easy these are. There are only *2 ingredients* if you use…
The 3 Fs–Family, Friends, Food
