I am usually not a big banana bread fan but Jason made this and it was delicious! (we did half of this recipe)

1 c shortening
2 c sugar
4 eggs
6 bananas
2 t soda
2 t salt
1/2 c nuts (optional)
4 c flour

Preheat oven to 350 or 325 if using glass pans. Mash bananas with a fork until pretty smooth. Mix all ingredients. Pour into greased loaf pans. Bake about 25-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.

So for dinner lately this is what we ate:

Steak Fajitas
Chicken Enchilladas
Stir Fry with Chicken or Steak
Cranberry Chicken
Mexican Corn Chowder
Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

What did you eat?

Turkey Casserole

This recipe is good for your turkey leftovers or you can subsitute chicken.

Ingredients:

Cooked turkey cut into bite size pieces
Box of Stuffing mix
Can of Cream of Chicken soup
Can of beans, drained
Onion powder
Pepper

Directions:

Make the stuffing according to the recipe.

Mix together in a 9x9 pan or a casserole dish: Turkey, Cream of Chicken Soup, Beans, sprinkle of onion powder and pepper for flavor.

Put stuffing on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Don't burn the stuffing (just heat up the caserole).

*This recipe is also a good Food Storage recipe. Instead of turkey or chicken you can use canned chicken.

Turkey Cookies

I stole this idea from our cousin Katie Calvin. She makes them every year, and I thought they were so cute! So I made them tonight...and give all the credit to her. So easy to make.

Keebler fudge striped cookies

Nutter butter cookies

Candy corn

White frosting

Red Frosting

Mini Chocolate Chips

It is pretty much self-explanatory from the picture. Use the frosting to hold the cookies together, and then decorate with the rest!

Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour

Beat butter and peanut butter for 30 seconds. Add the sugars, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat til combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla till combined. Add flour, if necessary cover and chill dough til easy to handle. Shape dough into 1" balls. Roll in additional granulated sugar to coat. Place balls 2" apart on an UNGREASED cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross lines with fork tines. Bake at 375 for 7-9 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. It is better to undercook them so they are still soft. Cool on rack. (Makes about 30 cookies so if want a lot then double it) Mmmmm so good I have made these twice in the past two weeks =)
