These have become a big favorite at our house. I do tweak the recipe based on what I have on hand. Usually, I have a bit more than 1 cup of mashed bananas, so I scale back the oil and sugar a bit to compensate. The last time I made these, I only had vanilla yogurt. I omitted the vanilla and scaled back the sugar. Regardless of how I adjust it, this recipe still comes out great!

Home-Style Brown Rice Pilaf

Reviewed: May 22, 2009

It's not often you get to combine "healthy" with "comfort" - this dish does it! I usually use 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil to saute the veggies. Also I don't add the chickpeas - hubby doesn't care for 'em. Cashews are a great touch that adds a richness to the dish. I like to serve it with soy sauce, and have added leftover chicken or ham to it to make it a main dish.

Southwest Chicken

Reviewed: May 22, 2009

Taking the advice of other reviewers, I sauteed a little onion and garlic in oil before adding in the chicken. I had cut the chicken into chunks and seasoned it liberally with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. After browning the chicken, I added the tomatoes, beans and corn and a dash of cayenne for heat - we like a little heat. Served it on rice and sprinkled a little cheese, sour cream and taco sauce on top - YUM!! My hubby LOVED it. Said it was his favorite of anything southwestern that I've ever made - and I have a killer taco recipe, so his statement carries some weight! It was even better the next day. This is going to be a regular on our menu.

Easy Peach Cobbler II

Reviewed: Nov. 5, 2007

My mother-in-law is revered for her peach cobbler, but now my husband's family is asking ME to make it because of this recipe! I made a few changes - I cubed the bread instead of cutting into strips, cut back on the sugar, and used thawed frozen peaches because I prefer a fresher-tasting peach. Obviously, it turned out fantastic. This recipe is a great "jumping off point" for other possibilities . . . apple? cherry? I can't wait to experiment with other fruits.

My Country Style Steak

Reviewed: Aug. 9, 2006

This was really yummy! My husband really enjoyed this dish. I took others' advice and didn't add additional salt since the soup mix has plenty. The leftovers made a great quick stroganoff (sauteed mushrooms, made a gravy from leftover sauce, beef stock, a little thickening and a last minute dollop of sour cream - served over noodles). My husband RAVED about the leftover concotion - the meat was even more tender than the first time. This dish is easy, versatile, and satisfying. Thanks!

Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 7, 2006

Wonderful flavor! My husband has no problem letting me know if a recipe is a keeper or not. This recipe had him saying "This is a keeper, honey!" after every few bites. I did modify it slightly - did not use green onions, had fresh ginger on hand so used that in the dressing. When I served it (cold), I topped it with some mandarin oranges and toasted sliced almonds and placed it on a bed of chopped bok choy for some veggies. I will be making this again . . . SOON!
