Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Easy Banana Bread

Easy Banana Bread

Cream together:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening (I use butter)

Then add:
3 bananas
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp cinnamon

Mix until a good creamy mixture.  (It's ok to have a few banana chunks still.)

In a measuring cup, combine:
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk  and
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Add to creamed mixture.  Then add:

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda

Spray 2 regular bread pans with non-stick cooking spray.  Divide the batter between the pans and cook at 350 degrees for 60-90 minutes.  Stick toothpick into center, when toothpick comes out clean, they're done.
