About this Cook
I like to cook/bake things that don't require a ton of work, or require a lot of weird ingredients that I wouldn't normally buy or use. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best, and that's what I generally look for on this site.

Banana Banana Bread
Awesome, awesome banana bread, and easy to make. I followed the recipe exact, except that I added 3/4 cup of walnuts to it. The top crust came out slightly crisp, but it's a good little crunch. Make sure you lightly spray the loaf pan so that the bread pops right out. The husband and I loved it, and he's picky. The two of us could easily devour this bread in a day. No joke.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople
Excellent recipe and very easy to make. Definitely use green apples because they're tart, and that's what probaby makes this pie so good. After peeling, I used an apple corer to slice the apples, and then trimmed off any remains of the core on the slices. Instead of chunks, I cut the apple slices into in 3's to make really thin slices. Toss the apples in a bowl with dashes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ground clove and tiny bit of vanilla, and then fill your crust. Make sure you mound the apples. I used the exact amounts for the remaining ingredients, and follwed the recipe steps exact, except that I baked the pie at 350 the entire time (65 mins). I made this pie for Thanksgiving today, and everyone loved it. This is definitely my go-to recipe from now on. Thanks Grandma Ople!

Homemade Tomato Sauce II
Like the others, I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, and I also added a tablespoon of sugar to cut the acidity. I added small, uncooked pieces of stew beef, and some uncooked meatballs that I threw together. I put the heat on extra low and let it cook for about 4 hours. The sauce was great. I think adding uncooked beef or sausage gives it an extra good flavor.
