We always end our meal with something sweet. On weeknights it is usually some fruit with a couple of cookies for the kids. On the weekends, I try to make something.

Honeycrisp for sure, but they aren't always east to find.

Oh re: the 10 baggies of frozen bananas.... I take them out one at a time to make muffins etc. I prefer to do that then freeze them whole because the slimy black frozen bananas turn my stomach! :wink:

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper... then chuck it in the garbage when you're done!

The other night I made a chocolate bread pudding with bananas and raspberries, it was very good, but it will come nowhere close to using 10 bananas!! When I have lots of ripe bananas I mash them and then freeze them in plastic baggies for later (1 cup in each baggie).

and here's another.... walnut mocha

Here's a pic for a cake that I made recently, chocolate banana ... if you like it, you can find the recipe on my website under "cakes"...

My lunch sandwich on Sunday (Chicken Breast with Bacon, Swiss Cheese, Lettuce and Tomato).... just a plain one, but pretty nonetheless. I love Cranberry Mayo (mix 1/4 cup mayo with 1 tbsp cranberry sauce)

Well it isn't a holiday in Canada :-( .... so I think we'll be using up leftovers from the weekend. We have to eat quick tonight so we'll be done before the hockey game starts. I'm from Ottawa and we're going for the Stanley Cup.

How about Pizza? That turns out great on the BBQ. I also have a grill basket that I throw veggies into to go alongside my meat. I hate using the oven in the summer - its too hot.

1.5 tbsp fresh lime juice 3 tbsp Apricot jam pinch of grated lime rind .5 tbsp grated ginger Mix together and paint on Chicken before grilling. It's yummy.

Thanks for the awesome suggestion, unfortunately (or maybe luckily) I don't have an ice cream maker. I ended up making a Caremilized Onion and Wild Garlic Quiche in a couscous crust. It was quite nice. I used the couscous for the crust because I had some leftover. I'll type out the recipe...

I love risotto. I have two recipes for risotto on my blog - you can jump over there and check them out if you like... the first is a saffron risotto and the second is a dessert risotto with cranberries and apple. If you aren't sure about trying a traditional risotto, than I would highly...

It is hard to make a 100% whole wheat loaf that doesn't come out like a concrete brick. My trick is to add Vital Wheat Gluten to the dough. Add 1 tbsp per cup of flour you are using. When combined with water, gluten becomes highly elastic. When you put in in bread it helps retain the gas and...

I recently bought a basket of wild garlic bulbs at the local farmer's market. I have about 40 bulbs (without the leaves). I thought it was such a fantastic purchase at the time, but now I'm not sure what to make. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you everyone - what a warm welcome!!!

Mish - I've only been on here a couple of hours but from what I've seen so far, I think that saying should be "Come Hungry, Leave Hungrier!" :wink:

I have always used Supper and Dinner interchangeably for the evening meal and lunch for the noon-time meal. My husband's family are French Canadian and they use Souper (Soo-pay) for their evening meal and Diner (Dee-nay) for lunch.

We usually BBQ our ribs over indirect heat on a charcoal grill for 1.5 hours (40 minutes without BBQ sauce and the rest with). But I also make baby back ribs in my slow cooker with a sauce that uses root beer. It is VERY popular at my house. There are pictures and a recipe here

I just found this site today, and I can see that I am going to lose LOTS of time reading all the recipe posts. I tend to hoard recipes, more than I could EVER make in my lifetime. But I do try out lots of new things, and then I take hundreds of pictures and write about my successes (and flops)...
