Banana Cake VI
I laughed when I read the review from MizzKat because she said EXACTLY what I going to say! I cook and bake a lot and I can't figure out what the big deal is with this cake either. It was good. That's it, good. Nothing I would run out and scream from the rooftops that you need to try this cake! I wouldn't even bother making it again. I wanted to use up some bananas I had and since this recipe had so many 5 star ratings, I thought I would try it. Just like MizzKat, for the amount of work, I would want something incredible. This was not. Next time I have bananas to use up, I'll go back to my delicious, easy recipe for banana nut bread. Again, just like Mizzkat, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Greek Style Potatoes
After reading previous reviews I came up with a recipe that worked perfectly for me. I agreed with the lady that said there was no way she was going to cook potatoes for 2.5 hours! I have real good chicken soup base, where chicken is the first ingredient. The first thing I did was boil the potatoes in the chicken stock. Since some people commented that the potatoes were a little bland, I added a couple chunks of garlic to the stock. Between the stock and the garlic, I knew it would give the potatoes a great start. I cooked them until they were ALMOST done. Then I drained them and put them in a baking dish. In another bowl, I added the olive oil, (NO water!)zest of an entire big lemon after microwaving it for 30 seconds to make it juicier and all the contents of that lemon. I added fresh rosemary and thyme from my garden along with some Greek oregano and fresh ground black pepper and a little salt. I baked them uncovered for about half hour stirring them half way through and they were delicious! We had company for dinner I and wanted something to go with the Souvlaki and this was perfect! They had had lot of flavor and you could taste a hint of the lemon. They were as good as I've had in the Greek restaurants and they didn't take long to prepare! I'll definately be making these again.

Cornish Game Hens with Garlic and Rosemary
Hen was tender but didn't have a lot of flavor even with all that garlic. I think I prefer seasoning under the skin and that's what I'll do next time.
