Banana Pumpkin Bread
Outstanding "bread" or perhaps better put, "cake." I followed the advice of a few others and cooked this as a cake in a Bundt pan. Then I made a vanilla glaze. I had a little icing left over from an Italian Cream Cake and mixed it into the vanilla glaze and it was fantastic. The bananas and pumpkin flavors blended well. I did use 4 medium bananas and 1 can of pumpkin. Had no pie spice so used cinnamon, ginger, and all spice.

Microwave Oven Peanut Brittle
Way too easy. And so very good. I would never figure out they were made in the microwave if I hadn't cooked them. And didn't have to mess with thermometers or "ball stage" stuff.

Vanilla Wafer Cookies
I don't think they really taste like Vanilla Wafers but they are fantastic in banana pudding
