This recipe makes my mouth water when I think about it; it has become a staple in our house. The only things I have changed are I use 1/3 olive oil and 1/3 sunflower oil and we also add a hefty amount (about 2 tbsp) of fresh cilantro from the garden. And every time I've made it, I've been out of lemon juice and substituted lime juice. My husband and I don't order shrimp out anymore because of this recipe. The ingredients may seem a bit odd at first, but trust me, it works in the end.

My hubby and I love this recipe. Surprisingly, the bell pepper seems to be a key feature in the finished result. I skipped it the first time (I didn't have any) but after cooking it again with the bell pepper, I realized what a difference it made. I also sub'd bbq sauce for part of the ketchup. Fantastic, simple, homey recipe.

I followed some of the tips offered by other users and came out with the best banana nut bread I have EVER had. First of all, I only had 4 mushy bananas so I halved the recipe but used 2 eggs. I also added a dash of nutmeg and ground cloves. Another tip I am so grateful for is the stand alone mixer vs. hand mixing. I agree it is way too difficult to cream the sugar and butter so I did all of that bit in the stand alone mixer and then mixed in the flour by hand. The texture was perfect. Also for 2 loaves, 325 for 1 hour 10 mins was dead on the perfect time. Thanks so much for the BEST banana bread you will ever sink your teeth into!!!
