It went really well. There wasn't any left. I do have my son who we affectionatly call 'potato boy' who helped polish them off.
Thank you for the recipe Mandy.

Does anyone in this group have a great recipe for BANANA BREAD?
::waits patiently for a reply::
I think this is Jamie Oliver's, I actually got it from my grand-daughter. I suppose you could omit the choc chips if you just want plain banana bread. Choc Banana Bread
250g (2 cups) plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
125g (4 ½ oz) unsalted butter, softened
250 g (1 cup) caster sugar
4 ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
175g (1 cup) good quality dark or milk chocolate chips
• Preheat the oven to 180c (350f/gas 4). Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix the butter, sugar, bananas, eggs, vanilla extract and chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour the batter into a non-stick or lightly greased and floured 19 x 11cm loaf tin and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes* or until bread is cooked when tested with a skewer. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard.
• Mine was done after 50 minutes so be careful not to over cook.
That looks really delicious Diane, thanks!:)
Trust Jamie to throw in a few chocolate chips. I think I prefer my banana bread with walnuts.

I made the fadgies, quite good but perhaps the texture was a little softer than it should have been. I used the dried instead of the fresh yeast. It was a lovely "wet day" project. Thanks again for the recipe.

Banana Bread
Ingredients
• 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Method
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
Simplest ever, from the TV show Blues Clues. I make it in a flat pan and call it banana cake. I also add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Note - no oil or butter.Blue's Banana Cake
3 very ripe bananas
2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute
1 cup sugar or Splenda
2 cups flour (up to 1/2 whole wheat flour works well)
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash salt - optional
Mix 3 wet ingredients well; sift 3 dry ingredients thoroughly. Fold all together gently. Pour into a pan sprayed with Pam(tm) or similar, or greased&floured. Bake at 350 (325 if in a deeper loaf pan) until it smells good and a toothpick poked in comes out dry.
(I forget how long, at least 1/2 hour.)

WHOLEMEAL BANANA BREAD
• 2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
• 2 tablespoons wheatgerm
• ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
• 3 tablespoons butter
• ¾ cup castor sugar
• 200g low fat cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
Preheat oven to 180˚, grease a loaf tin. Sift flour wheatgerm and bicarb soda together into a bowl, add in any coarser bits left in sieve.
In a separate bowl, cream butter, sugar and cottage cheese together, then add eggs one at a time beating well in between. Fold in flour and banana alternately. Bake for 1 hour and turn out to cool.
That does look really healthy and yummy Cathy! I'll definitely try it. Thanks.:)
why is it when you read recipes you get suddenly hungry?ok i have found a couple of recipes but i don't think they are quite right i want to find one that is.
near where i used to work, there was this eatery that sold this Beautiful Sundried tomato and chicken penne.
It was in this creamy(but not too Creamy)sauce. and it was so nice that whenever i saw it(no matter what i was craving) i would always have that.
Does anyone have a similar or a recipe for it?
i have scince moved on and i would love to have it again. recipes i find don't look the same, let alone taste it (they just don't compare).
I'll have to cook them and try them but the first link looks like it. i'm not sure, i was too busy stuffing it in my face to notice. but i think it might be it. I'll let you know. :o)
mmm that does sound yummy. I have gotten lost on that best recipes site. I'm after a good Chicken stroganoff Recipe. I had some for lunch today(mmmmmmm drooling thinking of it)
http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/...This one sounds Yummy. i can't seem to copy and paste. so see the link above for the recipe
Yeah i just finished siging up.i have found so many recipes! i can't print them all!
i'm after a recipe and i came across this and i just thought aldi shoppers might like to know that there is an online shopping list you can add to then print and take to the store. http://www.smartershopping.com.au/def...thats the link to it.
i'm off to check wooleys and coles to see if they have something similar.
oh and aldi's have an app(i think coles and wooleys have one too)
that would make it easier when shopping for a particular recipe!
oh yeah they didn't have the recipe anyway. i might see if the best recipes site might have it.
I have one from a friend, it's a Turkish/Lebanese recipe not Greek so not as sweet. But dead easy to make. (I'm diabetic so don't really like the super sweet stuff myself. A small piece of this is ok for those on diets)You will need:
A packet of the ready made filo pastry sheets from the supermarket, it comes rolled in a paper box.
Finely chopped nuts of your favourite variety (walnuts are wonderful, so are pistachios, peanuts... anything really)
Melted Butter
Sugar Syrup (made from sugar, water and a little lemon juice) probably a good 250-300mL for a full packet of pastry
Take two sheets of the filo and brush one side of each lightly with the melted butter. Lay the sheets on top of each other (butter side up) and sprinkle evenly with the chopped nuts.
Roll the sheets as tightly as you can into a long cigar shape. Gently push the ends in to the centre to form the little wrinkles in the pastry.
Place the roll into a swiss roll tin and repeat until you run out of pastry. Make sure the rolls sit right next to each other in the tin so they don't unroll while cooking.
Gently slice through the rolls to form short cigars. (From memory I think cutting each length into 3 works well)
If you feel adventurous you can also scroll the cigars up into nests or do a layered arrangement without rolling at all... experiment!
Bake in a moderate oven until golden brown.
When they come out of the oven, pour the cooled prepared sugar syrup over the hot pastry and let the whole lot cool to room temperature (if you can resist that long).
Sorry I can't remember the details for the sugar syrup but you should be able to find a decent method online or in a recipe book. Just remember you don't want a toffee, just a moderately sweet pouring syrup like you would use for a syrup cake.
Enjoy with a lovely cup of tea and some and some good friends :)
