1 c sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 T. orange juice
1 tsp. lemon juice
3 ripe bananas
2 eggs

1/4 c. walnuts (optional)
coarse sugar for topping (sugar in the raw)

in a separate bowl, combine flour, salt (optional) & baking soda. add to banana mixture.

In response to your questions- ;-)
Yes, those are craisins on the salad. We buy big bags of them at Sam's because salad is no fun without them.
I used Ken's Sweet Vidalia Onion dressing. Love that stuff.
I've got a couple other meatless recipes if you're interested. Let me know if you want them.
Oh, I forgot...
We liked the recipe I posted but found it a bit...hmmm...bland?...maybe? My friend has a very bland palate so I should have expected that.
I think if I make it again, I'll up the feta amount a bit. I was using up what I had, so no extra to toss in this time.
i love craisins especially in oatmeal cookies. next time i make a sam's run i'll have to look for a bag as i'm sure buying in bulk is a better deal.
thanks for the extra feta tip . . . i might of added more than called for to begin with . . . can you ever have too much feta? ;)
i would love some meatless recipes! i feel like i'm always making the same thing for my daughter.
thanks so much! :)
