1 C. sugar
1 T. baking powder
1/2 tsp, salt
1 C. ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 to 4 medium)
1/3 C. milk

1 C. milk chocolate morsels, divided
1/3 C. peanuts, chopped

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine bananas, milk, peanut butter, oil and egg in bowl; add to dry ingredients, mixing just until moistened. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate morsels. Spoon batter into pan. Sprinkle peanuts and remaining 1/4 cup chocolate morsels evenly over batter. Bake 60 minutes at 350°, or until center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, loosen sides of loaf pan and remove onto cooling rack.

Makes 1 loaf.

NOTE: Depending on your pans, it will make 3 to 4 small loaves. I usually use the small loaves. You might be able to freeze, but I unfortunately eat one loaf in a sitting.

Cookbook Soups

Potato-Cheese Soup

My sisters gave me a bad time with this recipe. They couldn’t believe that I needed a recipe for potato soup. I still use this when I want potato soup.

3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut up
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 C.)
Milk
3 T. butter or margarine, melted
2 T. all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1 C. Swiss cheese, shredded (I use Velveeta and not the Swiss)

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, add potatoes and onion to 1 cup lightly salted, boiling water. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  2. Mash potatoes slightly; do not drain.
  3. Measure mixture and add enough milk to make 5 cups.
  4. Blend melted butter, flour, salt and pepper. Stir into potato mixture in saucepan; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
  5. Add cheese; cook and stir until cheese is partially melted.

Makes 4 to 5 servings.

NOTE: If you use Velveeta cheese, you will need to make more thickening because it will add additional liquid. You can make this recipe to be thick or thin soup and as cheesy as you want it.
