Banana Crumb Muffins
I followed the recipe as written. My only advice is to NOT use fake butter for the topping - it doesn't create a crumb, just a weird sugar shell thing. Fake butter in the batter doesn't seem to have any ill effects. These muffins are fluffy, moist, and very banana-y. You sometimes come across banana recipes that only sort of taste like banana, but these muffins are packed with banana flavor. I got exactly 12 muffins out of this recipe.

Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos
I should say first that my changes to the recipe only cater to true chili heads...it may make normal people cry. This is such a simple recipe, but the flavors are great. I didn't have any parm, but instead substituted organic cheddar. We like things extra spicy so I added 2 tablespoons cayenne to the pork sausage while sauteeing it. I was very willy-nilly with the peppers...left in a lot of ribs and seeds to keep it extra hot. Threw it all in the oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. It was great - the bottoms of the peppers were browned and roasted. Everyone who was over here watching the game enjoyed these. Nothin like a snack hot enough to get the snot and tears running!

Fresh Pear Crisp
This is good and easy as written. I did have a random apple lying around that I chopped up and threw in there. Also......very important.....throw in a couple pinches of salt. It brings out every flavor. Also.....I eye balled everything so I didn't have much clean up at all. Impossible to mess this up.
