Suzanne from PWOC
4 bananas, mashed
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 C oil
2 eggs
1/4 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mixing well. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil after 30 minutes of baking so the top isn't overly brown.
Mommy got this recipe from a lady in Turkey named Suzanne who attended the Protestant Women of the Chapel Bible study with me. I don't remember very much about her, but this was her mother's recipe and I have never made a different banana bread since the first time I made this one. This is Daddy's all time favorite banana bread. It is so yummy!
Love Always,
Mommy

Heritage Dutch Apple Pie
Marjie Davis
Filling:
6 C sliced granny smith apples
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 9" unbaked pie crust
Topping:
1 C flour
3/4 C sugar
1/2 C. butter, softened
cinnamon
Combine apples, 1/2 C. sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon in a bowl; mix well. Arrange mixture in a pie shell. Combine dry topping ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Cut butter in with a pastry blender until crumbly. Sprinkle over the apples. Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes or until apples are tender.
This is a very yummy pie! Daddy and Mommy really like it. We were stationed in Turkey with Marjie Davis.
Mommy also really likes to use this topping on any muffins we make. So yummy! You can make the topping and store it in the freezer until you need it. An quicker method to cutting in soft butter is to grate cold butter into the dry ingredients then use a pastry blender. Works quickly to cut in the butter.

Mommy

Honey Cookies
MOMYS Stacey McLeod
4 1/2 cups flour
2 c sugar
2 t. soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1 1/2 cups butter
1/2 c honey
2 eggs
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Form small balls and roll in sugar. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.
They should be soft and chewy.
If you like crunchy, bake another minute or two.
Mommy saw this recipe come through on the MOMYS group way back in November 2005. We made them several times for Daddy to take to work at Ft. Belvoir Army Post. They were a HUGE hit. These are really good! These are best when formed into small balls to make "button" cookies. I think the time is about here to make these again. Daddy loves them! These also freeze really well so you can make a double batch and freeze the rest. So yum!
Love Always,
Mommy

Cilantro Lime Sauce
Mommy created recipe
2 limes
1/2 C butter
1 tsp salt
2 TB (or more) fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Juice the limes. Add chopped cilantro to taste. Allow cilantro to soak in lime juice for awhile. Add salt and butter. Serve over rice or noodles. Might be good on chicken or beef as well.
Mommy created this last night and it was so yummy! We had this over rice and shredded beef tacos (street tacos) and it was delicious! We are having it again for lunch today as requested by you children. :)
If making this as a rice dish I would add this sauce to app. 4-5 C. of cooked rice. Mommy just served it on the side so everyone could add it to their rice to taste. Joshua is allergic to lime so I didn't want to mix it into all the rice.
