Lonely Bananas

Dearest mother of mine,


I have problems.

#1. I have three lonely frozen bananas in my freezer and I don't know what to do with them. HELP.

#2. Matt is coming to see me in less than two weeks :) :). HOWEVER, when I told him that he could just relax when he was here and let me take care of him he laughed. He then said something about having to go to Tim Horton's every morning for breakfast (which I am not opposed to) but when I told him I would cook him breakfast, he laughed again. And I don't mean a little chuckle, this was a whole hearted, full body laugh.....Awesome. The boy doesn't even think I can cook a freaking egg!! (I'm assuming you are laughing right now considering I just recently asked you how to boil an egg, but now I know haha)

Long story short, I need to know how to cook something easy, but amazing. That'll shut him up :) What about the pasta milano recipe you have? We're going for not complicated here. I'm going to try to pretend I don't have the cooking skills of a 5 year old while he is here. Wish me luck....

I had another question but now I can't remember it. I'm too flustered.

Love,
S

  1. The only thing i know to do with frozen bananas is to bake with them, they are nothing but a black mushy mess when taken out of the freezer.
    So either banana bread or muffins. Once he arrives with the magic bullet follow the recipe for muffins in there.

    But here is my Banana Bread recipe:

    Turn oven to 350*
    I use a bundt pan, but it calls for a loaf pan. Spray with Pam and coat with sugar

    1/2 c butter
    1 c sugar
    2 eggs
    3 mashed bananas
    Cream butter & sugar together. Add egg one at a time. Add bananas

    In a separate bowl:
    1 3/4 c flour
    1t baking soda
    1t baking powder( one time I gave someone a recipe and just put "1t powder" and she asked "what kind of powder?" so I told her "GUN")
    1/2 t salt
    1 c nuts if you want too, but we're nutty enough already!!

    Mix the dry ingredients and them mix in the wet, just enough to moisten. The less breads/muffins are mixed, the better.
    Pour into your prepares pan and bake 1 hour for a loaf pan...check at 30 and again at 45mins. BUT , if using a bundt pan 30-35 mins usually does it.
    Remove from oven and let sit for 10 mins
    Then run a knife around the edges and turn upside down, remove pan
    ENJOY with peanut butter!!!!
