Janet's Rich Banana Bread
This is the BEST banana bread I have ever made!! Followed the list of ingredients exactly except for using pecans instead of walnuts (because that is what I had on hand). Only change I made was to mix all of the wet ingredients together, including the bananas (mashed) & sour cream; then I added the dry ingredients followed by the nuts. This recipe is definitely a keeper!! Thanks for sharing!

Modenese Pork Chops
I was looking for a different way to prepare pork chops and had saved this recipe a while ago. I did not have all of the ingredients but decided to make them anyway & improvise where I had to. Instead of butter I browned the chops in olive oil - I am Italian and not only is it healthier, I prefer the flavor over butter. I did not have any fresh/dried rosemary or fresh garlic so I substituted Italian seasoning and garlic powder. The chops still turned out AMAZING and I will definitely be making them again with the fresh ingredients!! I covered the pan, cooked the chops for about 20 minutes and thought they did not look done so I cooked them for 10 more minutes. Unfortunately, I overcooked them a bit so next time I will stick with 20 minutes. Because of the lid, the sauce did not thicken very much, so after removing the chops, I cranked up the heat to boil the sauce for a few minutes and it thickened up quite nicely!! This is a simple recipe that yields delicious results - thanks for sharing!!

Homesteader Cornbread
I made this last night to go along with homemade turkey soup and I must say, it is the BEST cornbread I have ever made! I followed the recipe with 2 exceptions: I did not have enough oil so I used melted butter instead and I added about a teaspoon of vanilla. My son, who is not a cornbread lover, said it was fantastic! This will be my go-to recipe from now on! Thanks for sharing!
