Salmon Patties I
This was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I were scraping the plate. I added a tiny bit of red pepper to the making of the patties.. and then instead of using bread crumbs i food processed (well.. used the coffee grinder) half crackers and half fiber one. I used Parmesan and garlic crackers ( wheatables or something like that) and this added a great flavor. Both fiberone and crackers added a ton of fiber. I also added another egg. I used a spicy mayo recipe I found which complemented the salmon wonderfully. Finally I noticed a lot of people mentioning the type of canned salmon. You can get an 8 pack or something at costco that is pretty cheap (kirkland -costco name brand) and delicious with no bones. I will definitely make again! :)

Almost No Fat Banana Bread
I made 8 muffins and they were delicious! I used two bananas, added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, a dash of salt, and a teaspoon of vanilla. I added a teaspoon of olive oil.. which I think helped with the rubbery-ness that can come along with using just apple sauce. I also used one egg instead of two egg whites. In addition, I used one cup whole wheat flour and the rest all purpose. If you go to the recipe for "to die for bluberry muffins" there is a great streusal topping for muffins which made mine come out beautifully. You only need half of what that recipe calls for, and I just used brown sugar and low fat margarine so it didn't add a ton of calories. yum! they were gone in two days. I would heat the muffin up for 30 seconds in the microwave then add a little butter.

Simple Whole Wheat Bread
Delicious! I made the whole thing in the food processor. I put the water, honey and yeast in the food processor, pulsed a few times, and let it proof for a few minutes. I then let it rise (in the food processor) for half an hour. I then pulsed 1 or 2 times to punch it down. I added the ingredients, and the amount of flour called for in the ingredient list which ended up being the perfect amount to make the batter sticky, but fall away from the sides a little. I scooped it out, sprayed a bowl with olive oil pam and then sprayed the dough with it too and let it sit for an hour. As a side note I love pam olive oil because it contains only olive oil and is great for lightly greasing anything, (including food) without over doing it with oil out of the bottle. I will definitely keep this recipe!!
