Samber Cinnamon Fruit Salad

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 23:24:31 -0400

This recipe came about when son Sam and daughter Amber conspired to "help" make breakfast one Saturday morning. We always figure one piece of fruit for each person eating (5 people = 5 fruits).

Creamy Peanut Butter Whip

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 11:43:58 -0400

I whipped this up after my husband decided to try peanut butter and sour cream together on a spoon. He liked it so much he came to me and asked, "Are there any recipes that use peanut butter and sour cream together?" This is similar to some refrigerated pie fillings but I made it sugar free. I also didn't find any recipes that used cream cheese/neufchatel, cool whip AND sour cream together. It turned out great. Use as a pudding topped with fresh fruit or as a dip for fresh fruit. -- posted by Engrossed

My five Sisters-In-Law Kerr (SILK) get together once-a-year for a girly weekend. One year SILK-ster #3 themed our whole weekend around a "tea party." She pulled out ALL the stops: the good china, linen, crystal--WOW! This recipe was served in beautiful little glass bowls, with a dash of 7-Up poured over it.

This is yet another recipe I got from: "Brain Foods For Kids: Over 100 Recipes To Boost Your Child's Intelligence." I got it as a send-in freebie from Kashi. This was actually in the book as a carrot cake with the bananas listed as a variation, they said: "...the combination of bananas and nutmeg are said to encourage restful sleep" I don't know about that but it was delicious. (I substituted canola oil for the sunflower oil since that is what I keep on hand) I did not include cooling time for the cake. -- posted by DbKnadler

Peanut Butter, Banana and Sultanas Sandwiches or Pinwheel Style

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:47:12 -0500

Yummy little snack for little kids or big kids. Alternatively, you can use either two slices of the same bread (either two white bread or two wholemeal bread) it's just to make it look pretty and healthy for kids. The pinwheel style is difficult to do without making a mess so if you don't like a mess or a challenge. You can use two more slice of bread and place them on the top, this will then be a serving size for two. Please be careful with nuts, we don't give Little Miss (DD) nuts because her cousin has a severe nut allergy. -- posted by Chef floWer

Typsy Laird - Scottish Drambuie Trifle for a Burns Night Supper

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 18:54:24 -0500

This Scottish trifle is traditionally served at Burns Night Suppers or at New Year. Typsy Laird got its name because the alcoholic ingredients would make the diners slightly drunk!! Though in reality there is little alcohol in the trifle and the typsy or tipsy effect is due to the "wee drams" of whisky drunk during toasts or throughout the evenings entertainment! Some Scottish trifle recipes will substitute the toasted almonds with crushed amaretti biscuits, and the bananas are also a less traditional but optional ingredient. -- posted by French Tart

Chicken Salad in the Tropics

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 02:03:00 -0500

The All-Banana Shake by Deborah Madison

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:25:04 -0500

Entered for safe-keeping. From Deborah Madison's "This Can't Be Tofu!". She claims the taste is similar to a Mexican liquados (bananas, vanilla and Mexican cream). Orange flower water is used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking; if you can't find it, you might try Recipe #110957 #110957. She suggests the following variations (which would no longer qualify as "all-banana" ) : 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (an "Elvis"! evoking Elvis Presley's love of bananas with peanut butter); 2 tablespoons or more of chocolate syrup; both peanut butter and chocolate syrup; or 1/2 cup coconut milk plus a squeeze of lime juice. Cooking time is blender time. -- posted by KateL

Pavlova With Whipped Cream and Fresh Fruit

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:33:56 -0500

Pavlova is a traditional to Australians and New Zealanders that was apparently created in honour of the ballerina Anna Pavlova, when she toured in those parts. It is basically a delicate mountain of whipped meringue. After being baked under low heat, the outside shell gets crunchy, the top gets browned, but the inside stays chewy and soft - like creamy fresh marshmallow. It then gets piled high with softly whipped cream and fresh fruit. The result is dreamy, with the consistency of a cream-smothered cloud. -- posted by Chef #1008075

Banana Coconut Ice Cream (No Eggs)

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:58:21 -0400

We received an ice cream maker attachment for our KitchenAid mixer last Christmas. We also had a spare can of coconut milk left over from a curry recipe. After a few ice cream batches, I began wondering how to use the coconut milk in an ice cream recipe. This is the result. My favorite thing about homemade ice cream is the delicious taste from only a handful of ingredients, so this one is a simple, Philadelphia-style ice cream (no eggs). It has a rich coconut flavor that isn't over-powering. The banana and (optional) rum complement the tropical theme. -- posted by calamari

Chocolate Banana Cake from Canadian Living

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:42:20 -0400

The name "Chocolate Banana Cake" does not do this dessert justice. Not even remotely. Banana-chocolate chip cake is layered with white chocolate whipped cream and banana slices, while the entire thing is covered in white chocolate whipped cream and topped with chocolate ganache. Just incredible. Add nuts for extra flavor. The recipe comes from a Canadian Living cookbook and can be found on the Canadian Living website. Worth the time it takes to make, particularly for special occasions. -- posted by KimEBdos

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:08 -0400

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand. Serve with fresh pouring cream for a real treat! -- posted by French Tart

In Hawaii. the Pineapple is a symbol of Hospitality, so this "friendly" banana-pineapple bread with macadamia nuts is just the right thing ;) to serve when yo are having guests over or to take with you to give as a nice house warming gift or as a delicious treat for your hosts. I tasted this at a freind's house and it was delicious - she put rum & kahlua in it and was it scrumptious! :) Delightful. Enjoy this bread as a snack or toast and spread cream cheese over it for a tasty breakfast treat.September 3, 20005 diana'sdesserts.com. Didn't allow for cooling time. -- posted by Manami

A wonderful recipe that combines a rich, tropical essence with a natural crunch. This simple and easy recipe will have you licking your plate! It's natural, raw, and combines sweet with bitter in a way that shouldn't be possible. However not only is this possible, it's delicious. This is adapted from Freedom's Raw Recipes (http://bit.ly/1IeyHo) and modified so that it requires no special equipment. All you will need to make this recipe is a knife and a blender. -- posted by Winkyboy
