Banana Bread (Gluten Free)

September 8, 2012

Banana Bread - Gluten Free-post-2My daughter who lives in England sent me her recipe for Gluten free banana bread she’s been making for a while now.  She said she makes this quite often and has become a regular around their house.

So if you’re doing the gluten free thing, give her rendition of banana bread a try and see what you think!

Banana Bread (Gluten Free)

Ingredients

    Bread
  • 1 1/2 cup gluten free flour (self rising)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 3 TBS peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup crushed walnuts (optional)
  • Topping
  • 1 tsp oats (gluten free)
  • 3 tsp sugar (demerara)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Put 1 tsp of margarine in the bottom of a bread pan and put it in the preheating oven.
  3. Mix the first three ingredients in a mixing bowl and make a well in the middle. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl. Make sure to mash the bananas although we've found leaving a few chunks makes a nice moist loaf which can be hard to find in gluten free bread!
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix with a spoon or fork. It's good not to over do the mixing part. Just make sure all the flour is mixed in. Fold in the nuts if you're using them.
  5. Take the pan out of the oven and mix the melted butter around the bottom of the pan. Pour the bread mix into the pan. Then mix the topping and spread over the top. After it's all evenly spread over the top of the bread push it into the bread just a little with the back of a spoon so it sticks. Bake for 50 minutes and then let cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Potato Rosti

August 18, 2012
by Curt

My daughter, who lives in England gave me this recipe along with a picture of the meal she made. We talk on Skype every Saturday morning, and she was telling me how much her and her husband love this dish.

So, this is my daughter Misty’s rendition of “Potato Rosti”. Give it a try and see if you don’t agree with her.

Potato Rosti

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 TBS oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1 TBS parmesan (grated)

Preparation

  1. Put the potatoes in a roasting pan. I used a bread pan but if you want a more even cook throughout then make sure there's only one layer of potatoes in the pan.
  2. Mix the oil to coat all the potatoes. Mix all the rest of the dry ingredients together and then spread over the oiled potatoes. Mix well so that all the potatoes are coated in the dry mixture.
  3. Roast at 325° F for 40 minutes or until they are cooked through. If you want fluffy potatoes on the inside try boiling them for about 10-15 minutes first, let them cool and then add the oil and roast.

Panko Walnut Crusted Pork Chops

July 29, 2012
by Curt

This recipe has just a few ingredients, but tastes so good and flavorful. Just goes to prove that you don’t need to go nuts with a ton of different spices and flavorings to create a delicious tasting meal.

I love a crispy crust on pork chops done in the oven, and I think this is what makes this so good for me! If you put them on a rack inside the pan, this helps to keep both sides of the chop nice and crispy!

Panko Walnut Crusted Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 1/2 cup Panko
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

  1. Combine the Panko, walnuts, and Mrs. Dash in a dish large enough to coat pork chop in.
  2. Mix together the egg white and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Coat the pork chops in the egg mixture and roll in Panko mixture. Lightly spray both sides with cooking oil and put in shallow pan (I like to put the chops on a rack in the pan to make them crispy on both sides).
  3. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.

Cowboy Cookies

by Curt

These cookies are big on flavor, and big on addiction. It’s very difficult to limit yourself to just 2 or 3 cookies at a time.

With many of my favorite flavors, like peanut butter, oats, chocolate, and best of all, pecans, these cookies are a definite winner. This recipe was taken straight from the web at about.com, so I can’t take credit for the recipe itself, but I can definitely recommend this recipe by passing it along to my readers!

So enjoy!
