I’ve been making these banana streusel muffins since 2008, when my Mom gave me her recipe.
The muffins are good for breakfast, or afternoon snack, or for a sweet ending to your supper. Use a plate though — they’re very crumbly!

Slow Cooker Osso Buco
One of our favourite winter meals is Veal Osso Buco. It simmers all day in the slow cooker, and fills the house with a wonderful aroma. It’s a delicious and filling meal, with a lovely tomato sauce. Continue reading “Slow Cooker Osso Buco”

Zucchini Banana Bread
In the summer of 2008, we gardened enthusiastically, with tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, sorrel, and zucchini, plus lots of flowers.
It was our first (and last) time growing zucchini, which produced way more than we could eat!
One-Pot Chinese Beef and Rice
This one-pot recipe is adapted from one in the Betty Crocker’s New Dinner for Two Cook Book, that I got when we were first married, long ago.
It’s quick and easy to make, and a great way to use leftover beef. It would work well with cooked pork or chicken too.
Avgolemono Greek Lemon Soup
Whether it’s hot outside, or freezing cold, we always enjoy this simple lemon and egg soup. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, and it has a bold lemony flavour, that I love!
The egg makes the soup a bit creamy, but not too thick, and it’s added slowly to the soup, to prevent it from turning into “scrambled eggs”!
Tossed Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
My favourite salad is Spinach Salad with Pear, Stilton and Candied Walnuts, but sometimes we don’t have all the ingredients, or enough time, to make that. Continue reading “Tossed Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing”
Chocolate Dump Cake
This cake is soft, gooey and absolutely delicious, which is surprising, considering its list of basic ingredients.
This recipe was used often during wartime when supplies were limited, which is why it doesn’t include milk or eggs. Despite that, it’s easy to make and always turns out great.
Sour Milk Pancakes
This delicious pancake recipe has been passed down through my family for 4 generations, going all the way back to my great grandmother – my mother’s mother’s mother.
