OK...usually I hate it when people rate a recipe without making the original recipe, but I'm going to be one of those people! This got 5 stars for being a good basic recipe. I also give it 5 stars with these changes: Half whole wheat flour, half all purpose flour. Half white sugar, half brown sugar. Used Butter Flavored Shortening and added 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. This made 2 loaves. I baked at 350 for 35 minutes and then lowered the temp to 325 and baked for another 10 minutes. It came out perfect! Usually when I make quick breads, they have a tendency of coming out crisp on the outside but still gooey on the inside. I think lowering the temp at the end really helped if anyone else has that problem!

OK, first off, being tired and having pregnancy brain does not combine well when baking. Instead of setting my oven to bake, I accidentally set it to BROIL. Oops. Despite this mishap, the cupcakes actually turned out surprisingly well. I tried one cupcake where the cookie dough had cooked through, it was a little too sweet for my tastes, but my coworkers really liked them (cooked cookie and cookie dough kinds). I used a different Choc. Chip Cookie recipe from this site, but I did use yellow cake mix and put a cream cheese frosting on top.

I just received my bread machine (Black & Decker All in One Model B2200) as a wedding gift. And I LOVE it. I think this will be the way I make breads from now on. =)I've always made banana bread in the oven and they've never turned out right (burnt outside, gooey middle). I just threw everything into the bread machine (liquids, then dry ingredients). I did beat the eggs and mashed 2 bananas before adding it to the mix. And added a tsp of cinnamon and omitted the nuts since I didn't have any. I didn't have to grease the bread pan either. Used the Quick Bread mode. It came out perfect. Nice golden crust. Moist center, not gooey. And the flavor was good. I think I'll vanilla extract to it next time.
