Banana Nut Bread
10Dec07Don’t throw out those black bananas! Make Banana Nut Bread instead! Recipe below.
Banana Bread
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana (2 to 3 medium bananas)
1/3 cup shortening, margarine, or butter
2 tablespoons milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup chopped nuts (huh huh)
Oven 350º
In a large mixer bowl combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add mashed banana; shortening, margarine or butter; and milk. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed till blended, then on high speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and remaining flour; beat till blended. Stir in nuts.
Pour batter into a greased 8x4x2-inch loaf pan. Bake in a 350º oven for 55 to 60 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from the pan; cool thoroughly on a wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing (yeah right). Makes 1 loaf (16 servings). Another “yeah right.”
Recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, 1989 edition.

Ingredients:
1 large Boboli (or other pre-made) pizza crust
3 eggs, beaten
1/2-1 C (or so) Italian blend shredded cheese (just make sure there’s Mozzarella)
Salt and Pepper
Crumbled sausage or other toppings if desired
Beat eggs and add salt (if desired since the cheese is salty) and pepper. Spread cheese liberally over the pizza crust. Pour egg mixture evenly over the cheese. Bake in a 450° oven for 10-15 minutes or until the center is set (doesn’t jiggle)
