Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread
Amazing! I followed lots of the suggestions from other reviewers: 1/4 c. butter & 1/4 c. fat-free vanilla yogurt in place of the shortening (I'm not one to substitute for fats usually, but I definitely don't miss the extra butter!), half and half brown sugar and white, added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, extra oatmeal and cinnamon/sugar on top of the loaf, and baked at 325 for an hour. I also used a combination of flours - 1/4 c. rye (trying to use it up!), 3/4 whole wheat, and 1/2 c. white. I think the wheat flour goes well with the nuts. Did half walnuts and half pecans and probably put in a little more than 1/2 c. The bread is dense, moist, and the coating on the top is excellent. Thank you for the recipe and for all the helpful reviews!

A Fantastic Margarita
This may not be a traditional margarita, but it is delicious! I like to keep the limeade concentrated and just add a little water, rather that making as the package instructs, for a more limey flavor.

German Potato Pancakes
These were wonderful! I've tried to make potato pancakes before by just estimating amounts of potato, onion, egg, etc. with mediocre results. I followed this recipes exactly, cooked them in a cast iron skillet, and topped with sour cream. Excellent!
