Peanut Butter Noodles

I was worried that the sauce seemed liquidy but, oh well, dumped it in with the noodles...and the starch from the noodles quickly thickened it up - the noodles soaked up the juice and the noodles got more and more creamy and yummy after a few minutes. I used Japanese Futonaga Udon noodles and natural peanut butter, water instead of broth, omitted the chile paste, used powdered garlic and ginger. These are fantastic, even though I made minor substitutions. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

Purple Monstrosity Fruit Smoothie

This recipe is excellent as written, although it is actually a "freeze" rather than a smoothie. Great for a hot summer day. I actually tried adding some vanilla yogurt, but that ruined it - next time, no yogurt! (Make sure you peel the bananas before freezing them - it's really hard to get the peel off). I added the 1 Tb honey, but no vanilla needed.

Banana Chip Muffins I

Good, low in oil and sugar, but the oven temp was too high - my muffins came out dark and even burned on the outside (400 degrees, 20 mins). Maybe I baked them too long? I want them golden on the outside . Will try again at a lower temp, and check them sooner. I felt they were more bread than cake-like.
