Banana Maple Pecan Bread Muffins (Gluten-Free)

I bought a 20lb bag of bananas at Krogers for $1.00 and have been trying to use them all up. This is one of the recipes I made in the process. It was by far the most scrumptious recipe that I made. It could also be made into a bread, but I made muffins. This is definitely my new default banana bread recipe! Imade a double batch and ended up with 39 muffins. I made half with the called for maple syrup/pecan topping and half with a cream cheese topping. To make the cream cheese topping, I whipped 6oz cream cheese with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup. These were absolutely heavenly fresh out of the oven. *For the gluten free flour, I used Bette Hagman's mix: 2 parts garfava bean flour, 1 part sorghum flour, 3 parts cornstarch, and 3 parts tapioca flour.

The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup

I'm in love with this soup!! A very good friend of mine made this for me recently and I fell in love. I'm very picky about my Tortilla Soup and this by far the best ever. She makes hers in the crock pot and I have to agree, that it's easy and tastes just wonderful!! Whatever you do, DO NOT skip the garnishes! They are the icing on the cake! UPDATE April 2010: Obviously I've made this so many times I never even look at the recipe anymore! But I wanted to add some variations that I play around with that are great. Like many reviewers black beans and corn are great additions. Sometimes I add them to the leftovers (if there are any :-) so that is feels like something new the next day! I have also made it several times with shredded pork which turns it into a pork carnitas type of soup. If you like it on the spicy and smoke side buy a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and mince up one or two and add it. And lastly, a little swizzle of half and half or heavy cream just minutes before serving makes it a

White Chocolate Popcorn Snackity Snack

There has been a lot of snacking at my house the past few yearsmonths weeks. I know I instigate it. It’s what I do. I like to make lots of sweets to just surround myself with…to have on-hand…just in case. In case of what, I am not entirely certain, but you know..just in case… Knowing that a handful of M&M’s is just a few steps away makes me smile… or a spoonful of buttercream…. What?! You know you wish you had a spoonful of buttercream a few steps away. If you didn’t wish that, chances are fairly high you wouldn’t be interested in this blog. Schooled! I don’t know why I have this love affair with sugary treats…it’s like my love affair with pajamas. I can’t get enough. I love pajamas…maybe more than my black yoga pants…gasp! Ok..I took that too far. So, in the vein of snacks, check it out… I will tell you that I didn’t know that I liked Craisins before I made this, but apparently I do. I’m not much of a fruit in dessert person, plus “Crasins” just sound gross. BUT, I will tell you, they are delicious in this fun mix. Granted they are coated in white chocolate…and isn’t everything palatable when it’s coated in white chocolate? But giving Craisins the benefit of the doubt, they tasted good and I don’t think a raisin would have worked as well. Raisins wouldn’t have added that slight tartness you need to cut through the sweet and salty going on. So high five to the “Craisin”…now, we need to find you a new name. White Chocolate Popcorn adapted from Southern Living 2 (3.3 oz bags) microwave buttered popcorn 2 cups salted mixed nuts 2 cups Craisins (dried cranberries) 2 (12 oz bags) white chocolate chips 1 t. cinnamon Microwave popcorn. Dump into a large bowl. Remove kernels that didn’t pop. Add nuts and Craisins. Melt white chocolate according to directions on package, either in microwave or with a double boiler. Pour melted chocolate over popcorn/nut mix. Using 2 jelly roll pans or wax paper covered countertop (a trick my girlfriend taught me) dump popcorn into a thin layer and sprinkle with cinnamon Let sit until chocolate hardens…about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days I made this specifically for my husband to take to Poker Night…and I worried it wouldn’t be “dude” food, but apparently I was wrong…I made a massive bowl and he came home with only a little bit left. So go ahead and snack away…there’s fruit in it, so it’s ok Click here for printable recipe
