That's one of my favs, Caroline. Been wanting to try a fresh apple cake. Maybe next week I will.

Mama Lisa's Blueberry Banana Walnut Muffins were recently published in a Grandmothers Favorites cook book. I'm so proud of her.
I also need to scan in some of her water colors and post some photos in the appropriate thread.

Just made this tonight. it may not last till tomorrow.

JOE’S BANANA (&C.) BREAD

You’ll want the electric mixer for this. And a pretty big bowl, even though you’re only making one loaf of bread. You will also need:

1-3/4 cups flour
2-1/4 tsp. baking powder
½-tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/3-cup butter
2/3-cup sugar
3 bananas
1 cup raisins
2 to 3 cups walnuts (shelled)

1.
SIFT together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

2.
NUKE the butter in the microwave (30 seconds on high.) BEAT on medium speed in the Big Bowl the eggs (with shells removed), nuked butter, sugar, bananas (with peels removed), and raisins. Make sure the bananas get thoroughly chewed up by the beaters.

3.
REDUCE MIXER SPEED TO LOW, and add the flour (&c.) mixture. (You do not have to reduce the speed, but you’ll be glad you did. You won’t have to clean up as much of the kitchen.) Somewhere around here, you should pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

4.
STOP MIXER and add walnuts (2 cups? 3 cups? Who’s counting?). Stir in with wooden spoon or other non-mixer implement.

5.
DECANT into greased standard-sized bread pan. Bake for ONE HOUR. Knife or other shiny implement should come out clean when the bread is done.

Yes, I said "thingy's"! Why? Not sure what to name them...they wre born last week in my very kitchen, and they have no name as of today, sad, I know.

Anyway....here's what you need

2 C coconut flakes
1 cup crushed pecan (or walnuts)
1 /2 cup of hazelnuts (or whatever nut you want)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. Of chocolate flavored almond bark (or 2 cup choco chips) or 12 oz of white bark if you choose

Mix nuts and milk in a bowl. And by mix, I mean stir with a spoon, melt chco coating and pour into the nut mixture
Spoon the little stcky stuff into some mini cupcake liners or into little balls on a cookie sheet and let them set. (Or refrigerate) and enjoy (I hope)

You can add 1/2 tsp of any extract, use any nut, or cut the milk down to as little as 3/4 of the can. Makes a bunch, doesn't have to be refrigerated, just stored in a bowl or container with a cover.

Don't know if it's too late to add another?
****************

Sand Dabs (..White Snowball cookies)

preheat oven no hotter than 325

One Cup Butter Soft as Pudding (no margarine)

5 Heaping TBL of Confectioner's Sugar

2 cups flour

Heaping tsp. of pure vanilla

and maybe a dash of salt (unless the below pecans/walnuts/
cashews are salty)..

1/2 - 3/4 cup of one of these... (ground) pecans or english walnuts or cashews

and an additional couple cups of confectioner's sugar to roll the cookies in when they're done.

Mix softened butter with 5 Heaping TBL confec. sugar. (pudding consistency) Add flour. maybe a dash of Salt. Mix with spoon. Add Vanilla and 1/2 - 3/4 cup of ground nuts. At this point, mix with your hands. Roll in small balls. Bake in a slow oven 300-325 degree oven....Idea is to have them firm to the touch...with a pale tan not brown bottom....20 - 25 minutes. They will scorch easily if you try to hurry them.

Take out of oven let them rest....a wee bit.

Gently roll them while they're still fairly hot in
conf. sugar. Roll them each once...and then if they're still warm...roll again.

Great Keepers...Great Shippers if cushioned.

I saw the Recipe years ago in a Pennsylvania Grange Cookbook..
but have since experimented with different type nuts..including(cashews)..and think they're better when rolled twice in confect. sugar...to make a fondant type coating.

Thank you Dak...... !! ...Actually..., this cookie is
recommended by some of the Diabetes Foundations...because if you
don't roll them in that extra rolling?....of sugar?...(don't do what I do) just roll them lightly instead of plastering them with the confectioner's sugar?....they're probably one of the
less sugar(y) cookies around smile

however..that extra coating of sugar...sure makes them taste
good grin

best...and thanks for the welcome back....

Had a recipe for fresh apple squares in my box-literally, for 25 years. Got it out the other day but realized it didn't call for eggs so to "check" it out, I printed another recipe I found online. Ended up that I liked the online one too so I adapted the original recipe to suit my own tastes. Thought I'd share it with you. It tastes best when eaten warm:

Fresh Apple & Pear Squares

Peel and cut up 2 apples and 1 pear-set aside.

Mix dry ingredients together in food processor:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
½ tsp soda
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger

Melt 1 stick butter and add to dry ingredients, then add:
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 T brandy or rum

Add the apples and pears and pulse about 6 times-fruit should remain somewhat chunky. Transfer dough to 9 x 9 baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Knife or fork should come out clean when cake pierced. This recipe needs no eggs and should bake up brownie like in texture.


Helpful Hint***Do as I say, not do I did. I cooked it in a Bundt pan. Wrong move. It needs to cook in a square pan for easy removal.

Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Ingredients:

1.) 532.35 cm3 gluten
2.) 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3.) 4.9 cm3 refined halite
4.) 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5.) 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
6.) 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
7.) 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8.) Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
9.) 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
10.) 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

Directions:

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston’s first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

I like it, Dak. I'd like to see your recipe for lasagna. Have you thought about putting these in a book? They'd sell really well at technical (and college) bookstores.
