Easy Egg Drop Soup
I'm giving it five stars not just because it tasted wonderful, but because it was so easy AND my very picky 5 year old loved it! I followed the advice of a few previous reviewers and made the following tweaks: added 1/8t ground ginger, 1/4t garlic powder and 1t dried onion flakes (because I didn't have any green onions on hand), and only added a scant tablespoon of water instead of two to the egg, then swirled it gently once I added it to the broth. It smelled heavenly, looked like something I'd picked up from our favorite Chinese restaurant, and could not have taken more than 10 minutes to make.

Banana Bread I
JUST what I was looking for! Super simple, all ingredients on hand, and with the moist and dense texture I was looking for. I made a few changes - added 1/2t baking soda, 1t vanilla, and an extra banana (since mine were on the small side). Since I didn't have small loaf pans, I made mine into muffins instead (yield 16 large muffins), and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top of each before putting them into the oven. Baked at 350 degrees for 18 minutes, and they came out perfectly! Definitely a keeper... my house smells heavenly. ;)

Raspberry Truffles
So incredibly easy. I followed the recipe exactly, but did use a higher-end raspberry spread and Ghiradelli chocolate. Mine ended up chilling for two hours, and it was actually quite stiff to begin with, but worked pretty easily into the shapes I wanted. Ran out of almonds, so rolled them in one of three coatings: chopped pecans, coconut or cocoa. Super yum - thanks for making this part of my hubby's Valentine's Day gift so easy!
