Ranch Burgers
These burgers are, BY FAR, the easiest and most juicy burgers I've ever had! I've added different things to the mix depending on what I'm in the mood for (minced garlic, crumbled bacon, red pepper flakes) and every time, they have come out perfectly! The great thing about these is that you can make 3 lbs. worth, form them into patties and freeze them. Just make sure you freeze them on a cookie sheet and then bag them up. If they're frozen individually, all you have to do is take one out and fry it up for lunch or dinner. Great for those folks who only need to cook for one or two.

Cathy's Banana Bread
I've made this recipe several times and have varied it each time to see what kind of different results I could get. Here's what I've learned: First, grease (don't flour) a 9x13...second, increase the amount of bananas to about 3 ripe bananas and a HEAPING cup of sour cream...third, use brown sugar instead of white and fourth, don't allow to cool completely before placing in a Ziploc bag. I usually cut the cake in half and freeze half while the other half sits in a sealed container on the counter. It really retains its moisture when stored this way, however, you need to eat it rather quickly (like w/in 4 days..which is REALLY easy to do!) This also makes a good "cake" if you mash half of the banana and leave half in chunks. Then, sprinkle powdered sugar on top or frost w/ a cream cheese based frosting (or a tub of that flavored cream cheese)...it's a hit! 3 Years Later...I'm still being asked to make this bread, but I've made several modifications since my first attempt in 2006. Here are my favorites. I use wheat flour now...it's just a healthier choice. I use light sour cream now. I add a handful of golden raisins to the mix as well as about 1/2 cup of sliced almonds (if I'm feeling really creative, I brown them first). Lastly, in an effort to get more fiber into my diet, I add about 4 tbsp. of Fibersure or Benefiber to the mix.

Chicken Divan
I've been making this recipe for 3 years now and it's ALWAYS a hit! It was even requested as an addition to Christmas dinner one year! I have, in a pinch, substituted the grated cheese with Kraft processed cheese slices and it has come out just as delicious! I add extra lemon juice and curry powder for extra tang and I also add torn up pieces of white bread on top for a crunchy addition. What a winner!!!
