Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
These are very, very good. I make these about once a week. I've adapted to make a little "healthier" as follows: Instead of 1 3/4 cups of white flour, USE 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour. Instead of 3/4 cups sugar, USE 1/4 cup honey (add to wet ingredients). Instead of 1/2 cup veg oil, USE 1/2 cup of applesauce. Also, use Dark chocolate chips if you can find them. With the above substitutions the recipe still tastes amazing to us!

Homemade Black Bean Veggie Burgers
I have made these so many times that I know the recipe by heart. First of all, I do substitute 1/2 cup oats for the bread crumbs. I don't add more than what is called for. When you mix everything together, it does seem more 'watery' than typical hamburger -- but it's supposed to be. If you add more bread crumbs (or oats) they'll end up dry and bland. I ONLY bake these in the oven on a parchment lined cookie sheet. On the grill or BBQ they'd just be a complete mess. Also, play around with the seasonings to make it your own. Sometimes I don't add cumin and hot sauce but add 1 TBSP of Worchestershire sauce and diced Swiss along with the other ingredients. Enjoy!

Dill-Tarragon Salmon
Prepared this a little differently and it turned out fabulous. I mixed the yogurt, mayo, lemon, tarragon and dill together earlier in the day and let sit in fridge to allow the flavors to really blend together. I increased the amount of lemon (squeezed about a quarter of a whole lemon -- about 1/2 TBSP) because I find lemon really neutralizes any 'fishy' taste. I eliminated the mozzarella cheese entirely and did not mix in the parmesan cheese at this point. When it came time to bake, I spread the above mixture onto the fish and baked at 400 for 15 min. I then grated parmesan cheese on top of each fillet and placed under broiler to brown for about 3 minutes. It was excellent and my husband, who doesn't like salmon, really liked it prepared this way. Many thanks for the recipe idea, will make again.
