Want to make your family happy? Easy, put those ripe bananas to good use. They'll thank you and I guarantee, they'll ask for it over and over again. This is one of the best chocolate banana bread recipes I've ever tried. There's always a secret ingredient when you find a real winner, but we'll get to that.
Super easy to mix this batter up, no need for an electric mixer or Kitchen Aid. You can do this one by hand. Great recipe to make if you have some little helpers around. They can sneak a chocolate chip along the way and can help you with the mixing.

I've been following Newfoundland Sausage Company for about a year on Insta. Their tagline is "honest meat", and now that I've finally tried it, yep, it's honest and delicious meat!
At the moment, I'm visiting my daughter, Mariah and her spouse, Caleb, in Newfoundland. We're all anxiously awaiting the birth of their first child. Oh I can't wait!
Since I'm in isolation for 14 days (Covid), Mariah picked up a package of loose Chorizo which I knew would be perfect for a pasta dish. I hit up Pinterest and found a simple yet perfect pasta recipe to highlight the loose chorizo.
So my daughter went shopping with her dad and asked to buy a coconut. They came home opened it up, discarded most of the liquid (say what) and then cut it up. A good idea? Hmm, not so much. My daughter decided she didn't care for it and wasn't going to eat it. Thus, fresh coconut in the fridge was the inspiration for this cake. Something about coconut and Easter marry well in my mind, so it was the perfect time for this sweet creation.
CAPS are required when joining the mouth watering words "GARLIC and BUTTER", together. Take the GARLIC BUTTER out and you're left with an underwhelming Italian Sausage Sandwich.
N o T h a n k s Add the GARLIC BUTTER and I'm all in. I hope you are too.
I've always loved blueberries and have really enjoyed picking them over the years. Picking blueberries in the Ottawa region generally means, paying for the experience to pick cultivated blueberries. Not a bad thing, as they are big and sweet and easy to pick. But there's just something about the wild blueberry that has always captivated my interest.
My girlfriend and I used to spend hours picking "wild blueberries" from a patch that Hugli's Blueberry Ranch used to have. Even though we could have gathered buckets of their amazing cultivated blueberries, there was something about that little tiny blueberry that we just couldn't resist.
Thanks to Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals, this happened. OK, it might take you more than 30 minutes, especially your first time. But the fact that it can be done in 30 minutes isn't "false advertising". I've made homemade pizza many times and this recipe is ABSOLUTELY the easiest one I've tried. You do need a food processor, and you MUST use the self-rising flour, for this to work within the 30 minute time frame. If you've got that covered, then you really must give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed. It's fun to make, looks incredible, and tastes GREAT!
You can still buy fresh raspberries by mid-August, but you can't usually pick your own. So when we happened "accidentally" upon a farm that was advertising pick your own, we jumped at the opportunity. This farm offered both raspberry and blueberry picking.
We arrived at the pick your own section of the raspberries to find little left. But sometimes little can be more than enough. They were small, but boy were they good.
ItMy parents came for a visit and brought a big bag of peaches with them. My mom knows how much my husband, Jeff loves peach pie and she wanted to make him a home baked peach pie while visiting.
There were enough peaches for one traditional double crust pie, or we could change it up and make Peaches & Cream Pie which would allow us to make two pies - one for us, and one for my neighbour. It's always nice to share homemade pie. So mom and I set to work to make pies. It was fun making the pies together. Mom made the crusts and I peeled the peaches. The peaches were absolute perfection. Perfectly ripe.
It was my eldest daughter's birthday and because she loves cheesecake and peanut butter cups, I thought this would be the perfect pairing. This is a little lighter than a baked cheesecake and the hot fudge sauce (optional) took it to another level. Everyone LOVED this dessert. You will too!
I would class this dessert as fairly easy and asked my youngest daughter (11) if she wanted to make it. She took on the challenge and did most of it on her own. I guided and helped a little, but she definitely did the bulk of it on her own.
It's strawberry season! Whether you pick your own (highly recommended) or you buy fresh local berries at the market, may I suggest Strawberry & Cream Roll-Up Cake as a treat.
But first let us eat strawberries!
Strawberry picking is easy and fun. As you make your approach to a strawberry field, the smell is amazing. There is nothing like the taste of a freshly picked, ripe, sweet strawberry.
